Re: primitive breeds

I thought that the original criteria for "good" Karakul sheep was their 
ability to produce offspring with pelts that were of the quality required by 
furriers - for making Persian Lamb coats, hats, etc. This more than likely 
is not always directly related to the handspinning properties of modern 
flocks.
