Welcome! This group is open to all current members of the Barbados Blackbelly Sheep Association International (BBSAI) and is a benefit reserved for our membership. The group's purpose is to encourage and facilitate the free flow of communication between BBSAI members and Board of Directors.

The BBSAI is the official registry for Barbados Blackbelly and American Blackbelly sheep breeds. If you would like to join the BBSAI, learn more about the Association and its sheep, or read the Association's classified ads, please visit the Association's Web site at http://www.blackbellysheep.org.

We welcome all members to participate in this opportunity to share ideas, ask questions, and voice opinions. We anticipate that most of the discussion will center around questions and topics regarding the BBSAI -- registration policies and procedures, programs, history of the American Blackbelly and Barbados Blackbelly breeds, breed standards, etc. This is not intended to be a place to advertise sheep for sale, nor it it intended to be the place to ask general questions about raising sheep, although we will try to be as helpful as possible in that area. The BBSAI Board members will serve as moderator for this listserve, and our Board role as moderator will simply be to promote the free flow and exchange of ideas, while encouraging members to treat one another with courtesy and respect at all times.
