Herdwick Sheep

[Ken Rennie]

This is the native breed of sheep in Cumbria. They are very tough, living off the grass even in the winter snows and are able to survive the harshest weather. They are born black and slowly turn grey as they age.

That's an interesting looking sheep.

So cool looking. These are such different looking sheep.

I think #1 is my favorite, though I would clone out that thick piece of grass or branch that is poking up by the sheeps leg.

Colorful and unique looking sheep. I am guessing they produce some very nice quality wool.

 

[Leslie Hunter]

These are great.

Alan the wool is very wiry and does not dye well. It can be bought in shades of grey but would not produce anything that you would like near your skin. Ken
