Dr. Maurice Shelton, research geneticist emeritus at AgriLife Research, San Angelo, Texas, studied Karakuls at that location for a number of years. The two white papers were in the exhibitors’ document packet for the 1993 Karakul Gathering in Estes Park, Colorado. Dr. Shelton presented his research for breeders at that event. The 1989 and 1993 articles have the same name but were published for different reasons; therefore, the wording and content are slightly different, and topic order is changed in the papers.
