I'm wondering what variant traits others have observed in their ABS or 
Barbado sheep, besides horn sizes.

My ewes grew varying thickness wool coats last Oct/Nov.  One twin shed all 
but some tufts on her hindquarter, yet her sister still has ~75% of her coat she 
grew last year.  She's still slowly shedding!  Is this common?  The young 
blackbelly ewe I bought this year has started growing a wooly coat.  The 
katahdin/blackbelly cross has no wool.

I know prolificacy seems to be affected too or at least with my sheep.  What 
have others observed?
