Barbados blackbelly sheep are a rare heritage breed of Caribbean hair (shedding) sheep, on TLC’s Priority List, status Threatened, they are known for:

• Disease and parasite resistance
• high rate of multiple births with low rate of birthing difficulty 
• excellent mothering traits, high rate of number of lambs weaned
• browsing habits
• lean carcass traits, similar to goats
• Both sexes are naturally polled (no horns)

Our foundation rams and ewes were gene tested and selected for scrapie resistance- our 2 rams are RR and ewes either QR or RR on codon 171, and AA on codon 136. We do FAMACHA scoring & FEC tests for parasite resistance. We keep a closed herd for biosecurity.
