Anatolian Sales Agreement	Barbados  Sheep are the survivors of a cross of West African hair sheep, sheds its winter coat, with an unrecorded wool-breed of Dutch origin on the island of Barbados in the 1640s.   The modern Barbados, though larger, is almost  identical  to the Cameroun Forest Sheep in appearance.       Barbados sheep are known for their hardiness and ease of adaptation to the environment.  They are also more resistant to  parasites than other breeds.  Ewes drop lambs about every seven months, with twins being common.  The meat of the Barbados is lean, and therefore should be cooked slowly at low temperatures. The taste is a cross between lamb and venison.  People who do not like the taste of lamb will usually like the taste of Barbados!     Barbados are great weed-eaters and will eat nearly everything including briars (and your favorite rose bush)!  If you plan to raise Barbados, you would be wise to have at least an acre per one or two sheep, depending on your forage..
