So what is a Black Hawaiian sheep and how does it fit in to the hair
sheep family? I had assumed they were just solid black (mismarked)
blackbellies, now I wonder. And where did the name come from, creative
marketing? They don't seem to breed true, witness the Bronze Hawaiian
offspring.
Then there's Painted Desert sheep, which seem to be pinto horned hair
sheep.... I understand the rams are quite expensive.
