An eye on nature...

Baa Baa Black Sheep...

If you go to Large you'll see a black sheep in the middle of the white sheep, but the bottom of her tail is white and she has white socks , that means she is a Zwartbles sheep. She also has a white blaze down her nose.

"Traditionally used for both milk and meat in the Netherlands, they declined significantly in use until listed as critically rare by the Dutch Rare Breed Survival trust in the mid-1970s. The first Zwartbles were imported to the United Kingdom in the early 1990s."

There is a small group of them here in our neighbours field, they are very attractive especially the lambs...
