About Wensleydale Sheep

Wensleydale sheep are renowned for their imposing size and longwool characteristics. They possess a bold and alert demeanor, emphasized by their broad, level backs, wide quarters, and robust thighs. Their deep blue head and ears, typically clean except for a well-developed forelock of wool known as the 'topping,' give them a distinctive appearance. Additionally, both males and females of this breed are naturally polled. On average, mature ewes weigh around 113 kilograms, while rams can weigh up to 136 kilograms.
