3. It comes from genus ovis ferrous.

"GENUS OVIS, PART OF BOVIDAE FAMILY"
http://wiki.answers.com/Q/What_is_the_genus_of_sheep

"GENUS OVIS FERROUS:
A unique breed of sheep raised and fed on the land somewhat reclaimed from areas previously used for iron ore strip mining.

The other minerals co adjacent to the strip mines ( limestone, coal) produce in these sheep a coat of steel wool.

This wool is unsuitable for clothing textiles, but has become extremely useful in furniture refinishing.

There are three sub-breeds of this sheep:
Genus Ovus Ferrous Coarse
Genus Ovus Meduim
Genus Ovus Fine (pronounced "feen")*
