Name that sheep!
This is a Zwartbles sheep! Originally from Holland (the name means 'black with a white blaze'), this is increasingly seen in our pastures.
According to my sheep bible ('Know your sheep' Volume 2) it is a nice sheep to keep as it is naturally tame, has wool that felters love, and tastes sweet!
A prize winning Zwarbles is dark chocolate brown, with white blaze on the face, white socks on all feet, and a white tip to the tail (not docked!)
