About Booroola Merino Sheep

The Booroola Merino was developed on the Southern Tablelands of New South Wales, Australia.

It differs from the normal Merino in two ways. First, its fertility is as high as any breed in the world. The number of lambs born per ewe lambing is 2.4, with a range of 1 to 6. Half-Booroola ewes on average wean 20 percent more lambs than comparable Merinos under the same conditions. Secondly, Booroolas have the ability to breed at most times of the year, thus extending the breeding season.
The high prolifacy of the Booroola Merino is due to the action of a single gene. Booroola actually refers to a gene called the B gene (also called F for fecundity). The B gene can be transferred into any breed sheep and does not appear to be influenced by nutrition. Breed categories: fine wool, prolific
Distribution: worldwide

About Border Cheviot Sheep

The Border Cheviot originated as a mountain breed, native to the Cheviot Hills between Scotland and England, where the climate is harsh and the conditions are rugged. Border Cheviots are extremely hardy and can withstand harsh winters and graze well over hilly pastures.

They were bred to look after themselves. Recognized as early as 1372, the breed is reported to have developed from sheep that swam ashore from shipwrecked Spanish ships that fled northward after the defeat of the Armada. 
The Cheviot is a distinctive white-faced sheep, with a wool-free face and legs, pricked ears, black muzzle and black feet. It is a very alert, active sheep, with a stylish, lively carriage. Cheviot wool has a distinctive helical crimp, which gives it that highly desirable resilience.Breed category: meat, hill

About Black Welsh Mountain

In the Middle Ages, the mutton of black-fleeced Welsh Mountain Sheep was prized for its richness and excellence and much sought-after by merchants. During the mid-19th century, some breeders began to select specifically for the black fleece color and the result is the Black Welsh Mountain sheep.

The Black Welsh Mountain is a small, black sheep with no wool on the face or on the legs below the knee and hock. It is the only completely black breed of sheep found in the United Kingdom. Introduced into the U.S. in 1972, the fleece from the Black Welsh Mountain has generated special interest among hand spinners and weavers.

Cattle

Cattle or Cow are the most common type of large domesticated ungulates.

They are raised as Livestock for meat ( beef and and veal ) as dairy animals for milk and other dairy products and as draft animals like pulling carts and plow. Other products include leather and dung for manure or fuel. in India, cattle are sacred. Bos taurus is the European or "taurine" cattle including similar types from Africa and Asia. The aurochs is ancestral to both zebu and taurine cattle. Recently, these three have increasingly been grouped as one species, with Bos primigenius taurus, Bos primigenius indicus and Bos primigenius primigenius as the subspecies. Hybrid individuals and even breeds exist, not only between taurine cattle and zebu such as the sanga cattle , Bos taurus africanus.
