I have asked several organizations in the U.S. if Barbados Blackbelly sheep have been genotyped yet and was told that they had not because it would be too expensive. I don't know much about genetics and don't know what arr-arr and aarr mean. Could you also explain a little about what a middle codon is and what nr154 is specifically. What would you need to prove that "only arr homozygoot and NO HORNES"?
I know what homozygous means and I remember reading about codons when I was in college, but you do not want to know how many years ago that was!!

I try to get fresh blood becouse we need to breed with genotype arr-arr rams. lately I read that you call this aarr and that the middle codon nr154 is left out.So our population is becoming extinct if we dont manage to find the right rams to use.
