Hardy ~ prolific ~ thrifty ~ the hill breed with the finest British wool
The many qualities of our sheep ensure their increasing popularity in all parts of the country, and for multiple, practical purposes. Our membership has grown accordingly and now numbers over 400. Breeders and craftspeople are prominent, but other supporters play an important part in promoting the breed
