QUESTION

A sheep breed, which is a cross of Bikaneri ewe and Merino ram with long fine wool, is?

OPTIONS

(A) Gaddi
(B) Hissardale
(C) Malpura
(D) Corriedale

ANSWER

(B) Hissardale

EXPLANATION

Hissardale is the sheep breed developed by crossing Bikaneri ewes with Merino rams and is known for its relatively long, fine wool. Gaddi is an indigenous hill breed, Malpura is a mutton-type Indian breed, and Corriedale is a separate dual-purpose fine-wool breed developed from Merino and Lincoln ancestry rather than this specific cross.
