"A Barbados Blackbelly é uma raça única de ovelha que foi desenvolvida no Caribe. Embora seja provável que ela tenha ancestralidade africana, parece haver uma evidência clara que a raça, como ela é hoje em dia, foi desenvolvida pela população da ilha de Barbados, de carneiros trazidos por navios no ínicio da colonização por europeus."
Eu diria que "acredita-se que a raça tenha-se originado do cruzamento entre ovelhas de raça africana e européia", algo assim.

Ou melhor... "... entre raças de pêlo africana e européia". Hair e Wool para mim quer dizer a mesma coisa, no contexto.
pêlo -> pelo :-)
