[Sca-cooks] suet Vs. fat

[V O]

A friend of mine who has done some reserch into this mentioned in a disscussion 
we had about middle eastern cooking, that this breed of sheep (fat tail) 
mentioned in this type of cooking is no longer around.  So, would it be the same 
from a modern breed of sheep?  Does anybody know if that breed 'is" still 
around, or would it be just something avaliable in the country or local area 
where they still are?
