breed reported in geographic location Poll Merino (Sheep) Poll Merino, Australia (Sheep) https://www.fao.org/dad-is VBO:0015064 The development of the Poll Merino is relatively new. Recessive poll genes are believed to have existed in the breed for many years and infusions of hornless sheep during the development of the Merino breed in Australia also left some poll genes within normal Merino flocks. Poll rams have been selected and mated to Merino ewes and selection continued for the quality of polledness. The result is a pure Merino without horns. Poll Merino The concept of “breed reported in geographic location by FAO National Coordinators” is unique to DAD-IS (https://www.fao.org/dad-is/en/). This VBO term should therefore be used specifically for the breed conforming to this concept. domestic breed Sabrina Toro
