The first quiz gave me Kats 100% but the uncommon breeds had me with some ugly wool breed...definitely NOT my breed of choice from the list.

Did you get Texel? I think they're one of the uglier wool breeds on the list :p

Glad y'all like it! :D

I finished the one with uncommon breeds: http://www.selectsmart.com/plus/select.php?url=uncommonsheep

There are 25 options available now ;)
Did you take out Katahdin as an option?
Nope...Katahdin is still on the first one. The one you quoted is the uncommon breeds. The breeds on there are different than the breeds on the first one.
Katahdin wasn't an option for me even though my choices were "Hair" sheep and "Don't want wool" when asked about grease wool. (I'm trying to be helpful without sounding rude or bossy.) Shouldn't Katahdin be an option in my case? I would suggest another Selector for hair sheep, but if someone doesn't know for sure if they want hair or wool, that wouldn't be very helpful.

You're a champ for going through all this trouble!

I'm still a little confused about what you're asking. :hide Which one did you use?

On the original one (common sheep breeds), these are the breeds that can be matched to your needs:
Babydoll Southdown, Border Leicester, Cheviot, Columbia, Coopworth, Corriedale, Dorset, Finnsheep, Hampshire, Katahdin, Montadale, Oxford, Polypay, Rambouillet, Romney, Shropshire, Southdown, Suffolk, and Targhee.

(Katahdin is the only hair breed in this selector.)

On the second one (uncommon sheep breeds--the one you quoted above), these are the breeds that can be matched to your needs:
American Cormo, Barbados Blackbelly, Black Welsh Mountain, Bluefaced Leicester, California Red, Clun Forest, Cotswold, Delaine Merino, Dorper, East Friesian, Gulf Coast Native, Icelandic, Jacob, Karakul, Lincoln, Navajo-Churro, Panama, Perendale, Romanov, St. Croix, Scottish Blackface, Shetland, Texel, Tunis, and Wiltshire Horn.

(The only hair sheep breeds in the second one are Barbados Blackbelly, Dorper, and St. Croix. Wiltshire Horn, though a wool breed, is classified as a hair breed because it sheds its wool. Romanov is classified as Medium/Hair, though.)

Cormo was the one I got in my second quiz! :p Now, that's an ugly sheeple! I was sure I'd get St. Croix, as my sheep were Kat/SC mix and Kat. Still....great quizzes... :pop

Oh yah...Cormos :p I don't like the look of the fine wool breeds but I LOVE how soft and velvety their faces and noses are :D

And thanks :thumbsup

I'm asking, shouldn't Katahdin be listed in the second selector with the other hair sheep.

No because the other selector is for uncommon breeds. Katahdins are a common breed. The selectors are separated based on the popularities of the breeds included; either common or uncommon.
