Rambouilett Sheep Farm established in 1954 at Jaba, in District Mansehra of Hazara division, is located on the main Mansehra-Naran highway at the gate way of Naran Valley and adjacent to the Silk Road leading to the Republic of China. Rambouilett sheep flock at Jaba farm is the only one of its kind in the south Asia. Rambouilett sheep are famous for fine wool production.
