American Blackbelly Sheep

American Blackbelly sheep are distinct among hair sheep breeds due to their exotic look and dark black facial bars. Often described as "badger-faced," the American Blackbelly has black markings on the face, belly, legs, chin, and chest. Developed in Texas in the 1970s, the American Blackbelly breed began by crossing Barbados Blackbelly with Mouflon and Rambouillet sheep.
