Have you molested any sheep recently?

Are there even any sheep in India, or does Dumbass import them?

Yes they actually have a very large market for sheep We currently have Icelandic Sheep as they are a new breed to the united states and are hardy as hell

Important breeds of sheep of this area are Deccani (Bellary), Nellore, Madras Red, Mandya, Tiruchy Black, Mecheri, Ramnad White, Nilgiri, Coimbatore, Kilaikarsal, Kengiur and Vembur (Figure 5).

a) Distribution. The breed is spread over the greater part of the central peninsular region, comprising the semi-arid areas of Maharashtra, Andhra Pradesh and Karnataka. It covers the major part of Maharashtra (especially the Pune Division); parts of Kurnool, Mehboobnagar, Nalgonda, Nizamabad, Anantpur, Warrangel and the entire districts of Madak and Hyderabad in Andhra Pradesh; and Bidar, Bijapur, Gulbarga, and Raichur districts in Karnataka.

3.2.2 BELLARY (Plate 24)

Not very different from Deccani. Sheep found to the north of the Tungabhadra River are called “Deccani” and those to the south of it, “Bellary”.

a) Distribution. Bellary district of Karnataka.

b) Numbers. The total sheep population in the Bellary distribution area, according to the 1972 census, was 0.176 m, and according to the 1977 census, 0.165 m; there was thus a small decline. Of these, 0.022 m were adult males and 0.950 m adult females.
