What breed are my hair sheep? Help!

[kaythlin]

hello so I’ve had my sheep for a while now and I’ve always known they where hair sheep (or at least I’m pretty certain cause it’s been like over a year and I’ve never sheered them and they don’t need it) but never thought of what breed, can anyone help?

I really don't know the breed, but wow the cuteness is incredible!!

Hopefully someone can help you with the breed?

Maybe a Icelandic sheep.

Hi Kaythin,
What country are you in? They do not look like any of the standard American breeds of hair sheep. Possibly a cross of hair and fleece breeds. Nice healthy looking animals though!

They look like Dorpers to me. Dorpers look a lot like Boer goats. I have always thought it might be fun to have both.

I could be wrong, though.

I was thinking by the coloring they might be Jacob crosses. They are gorgeous.

thank you! I'm in the U.S. in California, could be a crossbreed but I'm not really sure. If you think they are a crossbreed, what do you think they could be crossed with?

Maybe a Icelandic sheep.

good suggestion but I'm pretty sure they arent, the horns are shaped different and the wool/hair is a very different texture and look. Thank you for the help though!
