Damaras are particularly valuable in New Zealand for their diverse and striking coat colors, which range from white, brown, black, to spotted patterns. This variety not only makes them visually appealing but also adds uniqueness to flocks, which can be a point of interest for farmers and breeders focused on aesthetics or genetic diversity. Their self-shedding coat is also a significant advantage, as it eliminates the need for shearing, reducing labor and associated costs. The natural shedding process allows the Damara to adapt well to various climates, making them an efficient and low-maintenance breed for New Zealand's varied farming environments.
