It said Barbados Blackbelly 100% That was the breed I was thinking I really want! Thank you for sharing this with all of us! This thing was awesome! Thank you!The quiz maker on SelectSmart.com only has 25 answers (or breeds) that can result, so the first one only has 19 breeds, but they are the most popular breeds. Here it is: http://www.selectsmart.com/plus/select.php?url=sheepbreed
The second one has the full 25 breeds, and they are the more uncommon ones. Here it is: http://www.selectsmart.com/plus/select.php?url=uncommonsheep
The breeds were rated for all the different questions based on the charts in my SID: Sheep Production Handbook; it rates all the breeds based on their growth rates, size, prolificacy, etc as if they were raised under the same conditions in the same environment.
ETA: Here is a copy of the chart: http://www.backyardherds.com/web/viewblog.php?id=4485-sheep-breeds
