Creating An Alpha Sheep/new Sheep?

Science - Is it possible to combine Sheep with Alpaca?

Think of along the lines of using the sheep as a body, and having the Alpaca's long head and leg

Don't walk near an uncastrastrated alpaca as I did a little while ago. I was 'jumped' by the bloody thing.

Ouch, only ever got licked by one.

I was wearing my black riding jacket. I think he took a shine to that. It was funny because an alpaca's head is about the same height as ours so it didn't seem particularly strange that when I looked around, his face was just behind me. That was until I realised that he was following me around though...

ummm Balders, I think they blended the yarn, not the actual animals....

It was tried with a degree of success some time ago. Apparently.

Unlikely at present as genetically too different to cross-breed.. in the future some kind of laboratory gene splicing should mean this sort of combination could happen if someone wanted to waste millions trying to create it.
