The Hebridean sheep was recently a rare breed but is making a come back.

Many of the wildlife trusts in UK use them for grazing.
A hardy primitive breed.

I have 10 in total 9 ewes and a wether.
I started with 2 male sheep initially then decided to have more and breed from them so bought so ewes - Mary and Elizabeth they produced 1 male each first year, twin ewe lambs the next year then three ewes and a ram lamb last year.

I sold the other male sheep I had as they got too big to manage and they didn't flock together very well.

I now have a happy flock of 10 sheep all sheared ready for summer!!


Here are some pics of the sheep.
