The detail
St. Croix sheep come from the US Virgin Islands and are a white hair sheep that sheds its coat. They are known for strong parasite resistance and heat tolerance, which makes them a good fit for hot, humid areas.

St. Croix are smaller and lighter-muscled than meat breeds. They are less common, so finding good stock can take time.
