SPECKLED PERSIAN SHEEP

We have a small flock of Speckled Persian Sheep which graze the farm; great natural lawnmowers, keeping the farm tidy, and produce natural fertiliser!

Persian sheep are an ancient breed of sheep that originated in Africa. This beautiful breed of sheep has many unique and defining characteristics. Their coat patterns are spectacular, they have a very short tail, a large dewlap under their throats and prominent chest and they store excess fat on their rumps.

Persian sheep are a small compact breed. Their short attractive hair coat does not require shearing but is shed each year. They can lamb every 8 months and they are exceptional mothers. They are a naturally placid breed and respond extremely well to regular handling and become very tame.
