Barbado/Black Belly Sheep crossed with wild Mouflon and Rambouillet sheep, resulting in a a lean and flavorful meat. Key differences from its ancestor, the Barbados Blackbelly, include the American Blackbelly's prominent horns (rams are horned, ewes are usually polled) and its classification as a distinct breed, while the Barbados Blackbelly is naturally polled (hornless). Both are hardy, disease-resistant hair sheep known for their foraging ability and lean meat, but the American Blackbelly is distinguished by its horns.
