Correct Answer: Jamunapari

Nellore is the tallest sheep breed in India (Nellore, AP), and Jamunapari is the tallest/biggest goat breed of India (Etawah, Agra, UP).

Size Records
  • Tallest sheep (India): Nellore — also best mutton breed; "goat-like sheep"
  • Smallest sheep: Mandya/Bannur (Karnataka)
  • Tallest/Biggest goat (India): Jamunapari — Roman nose, creamy white, "feathers" on buttocks
  • Dwarf goat: Barbari — "city breed" suitable for stall feeding
Why Other Options Are Wrong
  • Barbari: Dwarf breed — opposite of tallest.
  • Beetle: Punjab/Haryana breed with marked beard in bucks — not the tallest.
