Abstract
The present purpose is to report further changes in our views on the genetics of N-type sheep. As stated and illustrated previously1,2,3, these animals have very high abundance of halo-hairs in the birth-coat, and their fleeces are usually hairy, that is, have much medullation. Of our four N-type stocks, one has been called ‘multifactorial-N’, two are ‘dominant-N’ and one ‘recessive-N’.
