HDN is correct but ABO incompatibility is generally mild. It is generally only clinically significant with c, D and K antibodies.

Reply to Did sheep fur always just endlessly grow or was that something that was selectively bred? Were they originally naturally adapted to be going through a lot of foliage and thickets and stuff that would keep their coat relatively trimmed? by EuroTraschBozos
Sheep are being bred more now to unzip again as the cost to shear exceeds the value of the wool. I burned one year as to ship it to the sales would have meant I was making a loss instead of just about breaking even

What is amazing is that they have less red cell generating capacity, their red cells have half the life span of mammalian cells, less oxygen carrying capacity (nucleated red cells) and no splenic storage - it’s a wonder they haven’t had a significant evolutionary disadvantage
