American Ladybug Sheep
Our New Breed
The California Red Sheep Rebuilding Project has been an adventure in genetics. While we have created many beautiful new California Red Sheep lines, there have been surprises also. The surprise, white poll spots that ran all the way down the face, black spots appearing randomly anywhere and everywhere on the body and even white lambs with red spots. Nothing irritates a livestock breeder more than having to cull outstanding individuals for a color flaw. After all, it doesn't affect the meat, wool or milk, so why throw away outstanding genetics. At some point, Shear Perfection Ranch made the decision to create its own breed from these outstanding rejects.
