Did You Know: Dr. Glenn Spurlock of the University of California at Davis began crossing Tunis and Barbados sheep in 1970. California Reds are medium-sized sheep, the rams weighing from 200 to 250 pounds and the ewes from 110 to 140 pounds. The rams sometimes have manes and both sexes are polled. The legs and faces are free of wool with long pendulous ears which emphasize the animal's appearance.
