The American Blackbelly or Barbados Sheep is not the Barbados Blackbelly. Barbado sheep are a cross of Rambouillet and Mouflon. The Barbado has a hair coat instead of a wool coat which makes it desirable (no shearing). It is also disease resistant and very hardy. It is predominately brown in color with a black belly. They are a meat sheep and the males are desired by game ranches for the large curled trophy horns they produce. The Hawaiian Black is a black Corsican type (hair) sheep. It is believed that they are a cross from a feral sheep from Hawaii. These feral sheep were crosses from sheep imported to Hawaii and Mouflon. Over the years, they were crossed with sheep (Rambouleitt, Mouflon, etc.) that had horns to be used in the hunting market. They are not classified as a breed unto themselves.The Black Hawaiian is merely a black Corsican.
