Are you an ugly sheep?

 
If so, please report here.

A campaign called "Xtreme sheep" aims to study sheep with undesirable wool features to unlock the genetic makeup of the prized merino and ensure production of its high quality fleece.

The South Australian Research and Development Institute (SARDI) said on Tuesday its search for "Australia's ugliest merino lambs" may hold the key to securing the nation's A$2.8 billion (US$2.1 billion) wool industry.
Just so long as they keep the wool coming...

I am an ugly sheep. That is, I was born in the year of the sheep. They can cut off a couple pounds of my ugly hair as long as they style the rest of it nicely.
 
I've been called many things...but never an ugly sheep.
 
I'm not sheepish, ugly or otherwise. I was born in the year of the cock...I guess that makes me cocky ;-)

I do have a merino wool coat. Nice stuff.
 
All sheep are pretty sheep, no matter how bad tgheir hair is.
