Sheep Breed Selector

[SheepGirl]

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

I got Kat's 100%..

Did you happen to add dorper to the list?

 

[SheepGirl]

Thanks guys!

TexasShepherdess, I did not add Dorper to that list. (Katahdin was the only hair breed.) But I am working on a sheep breed selector for the less common breeds, which the Dorper will be included in

I know Scottish Blackface aren't in the top 19-25 breeds....but I still like them the best for what I'm doing......this is a GREAT help for the new breeder still deciding which breed(s) to choose......Thanks for the Selector.....
