Corriedale <\/p>\n","answer":"

The Corriedale is a New Zealand breed of sheep. It was bred from about 1882 in the South Island by James Little, who cross-bred Merino and Lincoln Longwool sheep. The breed was officially recognized in 1911. The breed is now distributed worldwide, making up the greatest population of all sheep in South America and thrives throughout Asia, North America and South Africa. Its popularity now suggests it is the second most significant breed in the world after Merinos.\u200b<\/p>\n\n

Blue Faced Leichester <\/p>\n","answer":"

The Blue Faced Leicester is a British breed of longwool sheep. It originated near Hexham in the county of Northumberland, in north-east England during the early 1900's, and derives from the white-faced Border Leicester, with some influence from the blue-colored Wensleydale and possibly also from the Teeswater. The breed was originally developed to use in the production of high-quality crossbred ewes.\u200b<\/p>\n\n

It is a large sheep, among the tallest of British breeds, and long in the body. It is naturally polled; the head is broad, with a markedly convex profile and long upward-pointing ears.\u200a The head and legs are without wool; the characteristic blue colour of the face results from the blue-grey skin showing through the fine white hair that covers it. The wool is of longwool type, forming long curled ringlets; the fleece is light and fine, markedly different from that of the Border Leicester or Wensleydale, and the skin is delicate.\u200b<\/p>\n","tips":{},"image":{"path":"images\/image-68273abd0fa01.jpg","mime":"image\/jpeg","copyright":{"license":"U"},"width":311,"height":466}},{"text":"

Merino<\/p>\n","answer":"

The Merino is a breed or group of breeds of domestic sheep, characterized by very fine soft wool. It was established in Spain near the end of the Middle Ages. During the eighteenth century, flocks were sent to the courts of a number of European countries, including France (where they developed into the Rambouillet), Hungary, the Netherlands, Prussia, Saxony and Sweden.\u200b<\/p>\n\n

The Merino subsequently spread to many parts of the world, including South Africa, Australia, and New Zealand. They are presently common in South Africa. Numerous recognized breeds, strains and variants have developed from the original type; these include, among others, the American Merino and Delaine Merino in the Americas, the Australian Merino, Booroola Merino and Peppin Merino in Oceania, and the Gentile di Puglia, Merinolandschaf and Rambouillet in Europe.\u200b<\/p>\n\n

The Australian Poll Merino is a polled (hornless) variant. Rams of other Merino breeds have long, spiral horns which grow close to the head, while ewes are usually hornless.\u200b<\/p>\n","tips":{},"image":{"path":"images\/image-68273b6545057.png","mime":"image\/png","copyright":{"license":"U"},"width":250,"height":170}}],"behaviour":{"enableRetry":true,"disableBackwardsNavigation":false,"scaleTextNotCard":false,"randomCards":false,"maxProficiency":5,"quickProgression":false},"answer":"Turn","next":"Next","prev":"Previous","retry":"Retry","correctAnswer":"I got it right!","incorrectAnswer":"I got it wrong","round":"Round @round","cardsLeft":"Cards left: @number","nextRound":"Proceed to round @round","startOver":"Start over","showSummary":"Next","summary":"Summary","summaryCardsRight":"Cards you got right:","summaryCardsWrong":"Cards you got wrong:","summaryCardsNotShown":"Cards in pool not shown:","summaryOverallScore":"Overall Score","summaryCardsCompleted":"Cards you have completed learning:","summaryCompletedRounds":"Completed rounds:","summaryAllDone":"Well done!
