Note
Sheep whose skin carries a high proportion of coarse hairs as opposed to fine wool hairs. The leather produced from these skins has a finer and tougher grain than that made from wool-bearing sheep, and as a result, the processed skin resembles that of the goat and they are frequently hard if not impossible to tell apart by visual means alone.
Note (nb)
Note
en type sau som har større mengde stive hår enn fine ullhår, som gir skinnet en finere narv og er mer robust enn ullsau og ligner derfor mer på geit
