Gay Sheep
I wish one of my rams was gay! Then I wouldn't have to deal with complicated animal husbandry issues like worrying about who's mating with their mother.
I'm trying to trade away Lambchop for two ewes -- but the prospective farmer told me he'd reflect on it. I think he considers Lambchop's half-breed mother to be a genetic drawback. But if anything, a little outside blood is good for this small race of sheep . . . they're prone to the tremors from too much in-breeding.

Jim Newman here from the university that is actually conducting the research.
In regards to the Sunday Times article which is the source of all these wild conspiracy theories, I am pleased that a writer has thoroughly investigated the article. As he reports, the Sunday Times article basically a piece of science fiction filled with major errors and false claims. His analysis also raises important questions about the timing of the article which comes almost five years after the research was actually conducted.
Here’s a link to that analysis that anyone who is interested in this topic should read:
