  • The Saltasassi is an Italian breed of upland sheep, reared for meat. It originates in the provincesofVerbano Cusio Ossola[2] and Novara in the northern part of Piemonte, in north-west Italy.[3] It is one of the forty-two autochthonous local sheep breeds of limited distribution for which a herdbook is kept by the Associazione Nazionale della Pastorizia, the Italian national association of sheep-breeders.[4]

    The population in 1983 was estimated at 2500.[2][3] In 2013 the total number for the breed was not recorded; in 2012 it was 37.[5] A study conducted by the region of Piemonte in 2000 found the Saltasassi to be virtually extinct.[2]
