Congrads, Very nice set of boys, (Future Breeders) ?
The one may be, I am trying to be really selective. In the pictures they look to be the same colour but the bigger one of the 2 is actually lighter straw colour while the other is more towards the fox red that I am striving for, also the redder ones facial markings are much bolder(yet well defined)..... So the one I will register for sure. The lighter colour one I want to watch and see how he grows out bit before I "X" him comletely as a breeder.

Gorgeous! I love the markings! Where are in BC are you? I'm very tempted!
I'm in the East Kootenays, Cranbrook to be exact.

They are really pretty. They are hair sheep, right? Are they the same as Barbados? If I was going to get hair sheep, I would get them. Love their color markings!

Yep, they are hairsheep.

The American Blackbelly is the horned variety of the polled Barbado Blackbelly. There are also Texas barbados(corsican) which have horns and can have badger markings but they vary greatly(being a cross).
