Border Leicester Sheep
Sheep
We were excited to welcome the Border Leicester sheep to the farm in 2024! These big, friendly sheep originally come from Northumberland. They are great mums and have super calm personalities. What makes them really special are their cute, rabbit-like ears that stand up and their Roman-shaped noses. They’re easy to spot and are often shown off at special events!
Their soft wool is also very special, as it’s shiny and takes dye really well, which makes it a favourite for spinners.
Find out more about Border Leicesters from the Rare Breeds Survival Trust’s (RBST’s) website.
