To All: I did not mean to restart any polled vs horned debate..... Thanks to those that provided an answer to my question - it appears that polled rams can be produced from horned stock (though they maybe hetero - no way to tell without genetic study). FWIW, personally, I call/advertise my animals Horned Barbados Blackbelly Sheep. They all appear exactly like the pics of BBB, except that they are horned (or scurred), so I would suggest that there is only one breed - kind of like registered Hereford cattle that come in horned or polled versions. I also thought I remembered that most, if not all, sheep originated from the wild Mouflan. So does anyone know how BBB were actually created??? I digress.
The meat does not require hanging more than over night in a refrig. I would suggest a real bone/meat saw to replace the hacksaw (doesn't seem like much difference but you'll be surprised). They are so much easier to use simply due to the design.
