Morada Nova is a Brazilian breed of domestic sheep. It originates in the state of Ceará, in Nordeste, the north-eastern region of Brazil, on the Atlantic coast.
The Morada Nova is well adapted to the varied climatic conditions of the sertão, and well able to forage in the caatinga scrub biome of the area. It is reared principally for meat. Animals are slaughtered when they are between 18 and 24 months old when they weigh 27–35 kg. Males are not usually castrated. The hides are of good quality. Ewes are not milked, and the sheep are not shorn.
