Heritage Aberdeen angus, pure Wye and Scottish/Irish genetics. Forty-six Dorper, 46 Katahdin, and 43 St. Croix female sheep from four regions of the USA were used to evaluate responses to high heat load index (HLI) conditions.

They keep weight on little or no grain but not obsessed with grain the way the woollies are. Hair sheep also had a higher growth rate than goats (0.21 vs. 0.14 lb/day).

St. Croix require no shearing, hoof rot resistant, non-selective grazers.
