Barbado (http://www.ansi.okstate.edu/breeds/sheep/barbado/)
Bear in mind that Barbado registered with the BBSAI have a more stringent breed standard than described on the Oklahoma State University Web site. They must conform to the same coloration and conformation requirements as Barbados Blackbelly sheep. The major difference between the breeds is the horns on Barbado rams.
The BBSAI Web site has a good FAQ that describes the difference at http://www.blackbellysheep.org/faq.htm
You can see a very simple "decision tree" at http://www.blackbellysheep.org/decision_tree.html that will help you identify which breed you have.
Hope this info helps.

I am new to sheep let alone this breed. Can someone tell me the difference between Barbado and Barbados Black Belly? Does anyone have pictures of the two different types that I could see? Thanks in advance! Tammy
