	Deer Run Sheep Farm: Color Genetics in Coopworth Sheep
		Coopworth sheep are an interesting breed resource that is widely used throughout the world in both purebreeding and crossbreeding systems.
		Coopworth color is determined mainly by two separate genetic mechanisms, with another two that are common enough to warrant some attention.
		Color genetics of the Coopworth is consistent with the genetics of the parent breeds - Border Leicester and Romney.

		Coopworths were originally bred from stud Romneys — 30% of which needed lambing assistance, and a 90% lamb rearing rate.
		The Coopworth is a maternal sheep, and has the distinct advantage in that it can be used to cross with the Merino, or be used as a self replacing prime lamb flock.
		These self replacing flocks usually mate the top 1/3 of these ewes to Coopworth rams, the ewe lambs are retained for the flock, and the wethers are sold as export lambs.

		Coopworth sheep were imported to Australia in 1976, after being developed in New Zealand in the 1950s from a cross of Border Leicester and Romney.
		Coopworths have been selected on visual criteria, wool quality, frame and carcass attributes, and measured performance, including fertility and lamb survival, growth rate to weaning, growth rate to yearling stage, leanness, growth and fleece production of 30-35 micron wool.
		Coopworths are performing well in Australia from the hot country of Riverina of NSW and Western Australia, to the wet, cold country of Victoria and Tasmania.

	Coopworth Sheep Society
		The Coopworth breed had its origins in the 1950's and 1960's in the crossing of the Romney ewe with the Border Leicester ram to produce the F1 Border-Romney and the subsequent inter-breeding of them to give F2 and F3 generation progeny, which were then eligible to be known and registered as Coopworths.
		Since the 1970's the base of the Coopworth breed has been widened to include sheep bred from white faced breeds other than the Romney, by continued topcrossing with Coopworth rams.
		Alternatively registered or screened Coopworth ewes may be mated to any other white faced white wooled ram to produce F1 female stock that then must be mated to a Single Entry Coopworth sire to produce eligible foundation stock under sub section 3 following.
