The St. Croix was developed in the Virgin Islands and is also known as the Virgin Island White. The St. Croix has been used as a base breed for the Katahdin, among other breeds, due to its parasite resistance and other health benefits. The St. Croix is wool free and does not require shearing. The registry requires animals to be white, however a dark spot on the ear or nose or dark-lined eyes are allowed. Rams are polled and have a mane. They are fairly prolific, have an extended breeding season and lamb unassisted. The St. Croix is known for mild and tender meat production; it is also being rotated into dairies for milk and cheese production.
