Duplicate sheep breed: Badger Face vs. Badger Faced Welsh Mountain

[KrishnaTO]

Issue Description

There are two separate terms that differ only by "Face" vs "Faced":

• VBO:0001309 - Badger Face Welsh Mountain (Sheep)
• VBO:0001310 - Badger Faced Welsh Mountain (Sheep)

Analysis

These are clearly the same breed with only a minor grammatical variation ("Face" vs "Faced"). Notably:

• VBO:0001309 has a synonym "Welsh Mountain Badger Faced" which uses the "Faced" spelling
• VBO:0001309 has an LBO cross-reference
• Both are sourced from FAO DAD-IS

Recommendation

Merge these terms:

1. Keep VBO:0001309 (has LBO xref) as the primary term
2. Make VBO:0001310 obsolete
3. Add "Badger Faced Welsh Mountain" as a synonym to VBO:0001309
4. Ensure both geographic variants point to the retained term

Just noting that Claude made the decision to obsolete VBO:0001309 in our runs, though it gave both options when it created #71.

Summary

I understand you want to mark this issue (#65) as a duplicate of issue #71. However, I don't have the ability to directly manage GitHub issue metadata (closing issues, adding labels, or marking duplicates).

To mark this issue as a duplicate, you'll need to:

1. Add a comment mentioning it's a duplicate: "Duplicate of Merge duplicate terms: Badger Face vs Badger Faced Welsh Mountain sheep #71"
2. Close the issue manually
3. Optionally, add the "duplicate" label if available in your repository

Note: I checked the repository and found that issue #65 references in src/ontology/vbo-edit.obo are for different issues (cat breeds). Since issue #71 is the proper tracking issue for the Badger Face/Badger Faced Welsh Mountain sheep breed duplication discussed here, and this issue is being closed as duplicate, no code changes are needed.
