Rare Breed Sheep

The problem with primitive/hill breeds is they’re MUCH more intelligent than your average sheep, if they don’t respect you/your dog they will literally run rings around you. But they look after themselves, and are generally very healthy and can be very cooperative as long as not left to go feral, I really like my North Ronaldsays and the crosses have proved to be fantastic sheep.
I always say my welsh ewes are all brain and no body, where my Suffolk’s are all body and no brain.
