That works for me, I think Barbado isn't a good distinction for the horned 
breed decendant from BBS.  Especially given the characteristics of these 
sheep.....and breed origin.    ;-)

the breed mixing with Rambouillet and Mouflon.

I also read on the island of Barbados the sheep are simply called Blackbelly. 
 So, apparently the importers added Barbados to indicate their origin.
