Barbado+Sheep

The Barbados sheep originated in the West Indies island of Barbados, brought in by African slave traders during the 1600s. They were shipboard sources of milk and meat. Today, Fewer than 200 pure bread Barbados Sheep are left, and yet all of these are domesticated. Unlike most sheep, Barbados Sheep are unique in that they actually possess hair, rather than wool. Their diet consists mainly of Grass, weeds and various shrubs. They are known to have a high tolerance for parasites and great resistance for disease too.
