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

That is a fun quiz! I ended up with Barbados Blackbelly at 100% and St Croix at 96%! Granted, I had it marked for hair breeds but it's still cool that those are the two breeds I'm looking into now.
