This list contains references that include "Barbados Blackbelly" in
the title. Extensive research continues at the Agricultural Experiment
Station (AES) located on the St. Croix Campus of the University of the
Virgin Islands. They use primarily Barbados Blackbelly and St. Croix
hair sheep in their research. You can view a list of their publications
at http://rps.uvi.edu/AES/animal/ANSCIpubs.html
Listed below are articles about hair sheep research that are of interest
to Barbados Blackbelly breeders.
