Blackhead Persian (sheep)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Blackhead Persian is a fat-tailed breed of domestic sheep from Africa.[1] The breed is also a type of hair sheep, meaning they do not grow wool and tolerate heat better than wooled breeds.[2] As their name would suggest, the Blackhead Persian has a white body and an entirely black head.[2]
