American Blackbelly sheep

SheepUSA

The American Blackbelly is a breed of domestic sheep that originated in the United States.

The breed was developed in Texas by crossing Barbados black belly sheep with Rambouillet sheep and mouflon. This produced a horned animal with a heavier carcase and increased muscle mass compared to the original black-bellied breed.

American black bellies are mainly used for trophy hunting.
