what is the name of the most famous sheep in australia?
merino
in 1811, highly decorated nake, one of the key persons of saxony's world famous sheep breeding at that time, established a private farm in the "vorwerk" in kleindrebnitz. after the napoleonic wars saxony urgently needed money to rebuild the country and thus decided to lift the export ban on living merinos. the sheep export to australia and russia was successful to such an extent that saxon sheep breeders themselves dramatically lost market shares. this development was faced by nake in kleindrebnitz too.

sheep are generally too large and reproduce too slowly to make ideal research subjects, and thus are not a common model organism. they have, however, played an influential role in some fields of science. in particular, the roslin institute of edinburgh, scotland used sheep for genetics research that produced groundbreaking results. in 1995, two ewes named megan and morag were the first mammals cloned from differentiated cells. a year later, a finnish dorset sheep named dolly, dubbed "the world's most famous sheep" in "scientific american", was the first mammal to be cloned from an adult somatic cell. following this, polly and molly were the first mammals to be simultaneously cloned and transgenic.
