The BBSAI is the international registry for both Barbados Blackbelly sheep and American Blackbelly sheep. The Blackbelly
Barbados breed originally developed on the West Indies island of
Barbados from hair sheep brought in by African slave traders during
the 1600s.
This registry
is dedicated to the preservation of a unique genetic resource - the
Barbados Blackbelly hair sheep and is open to any individual who
wishes to register their qualified Blackbelly Sheep.
