Calico sheep : ウィキペディア英語版 | Calico sheep Calico sheep is a kind of sheep with more than one color in its coat.〔("A Piebald Mutation in Sheep: And a Suggested Interpretation," ) Journal of Heredity'' (1950), Vol. 41, No. 2, pp. 39-40; retrieved 2012-8-19.〕 It is a mutation, but not a recognized breed.Calico Sheep can be bred by mixing Dorset, Suffolk, Shetland, and Kathadin to give the sheep its unique calico coat. These sheep are very small, at times it may not even be from breeding, but from genes being lost through time. For example if two sheep Breed, one white with some black or brown genes and then one black one mate, their Offspring could produce a calico sheep. ==History== Calico sheep are not related to the black and white sheep that are native to ancient Sudan〔Shaw, Thustan. (1995). ( ''The Archaeology of Africa: Food, Metals and Towns,'' p. 69 ).〕 and to South Africa.〔British Museum. (1908). (''A guide to the domesticated animals (other than horses) exhibited in the central and north halls of the British Museum (Natural History),'' p. 21 ).〕 The modern mutation was developed by breeding the Shetland sheep with Barbadian Black Belly Sheep. * The rams have a curled horn similar to Rocky Mountain Sheep. * The rams generally weigh up to about . * The ewes will range in about the range.
