The Lonk is a breed of sheep that originates from the northern upland areas of England, particularly in Lancashire and West Yorkshire. Lonk sheep are medium to large-sized, hardy, and well-adapted to rugged terrain and harsh weather conditions. They have distinctive black or dark brown faces and legs, with a dense, coarse fleece that provides good protection against the elements. Lonk sheep are known for their excellent foraging abilities and efficient conversion of forage into meat, making them well-suited for extensive grazing systems. They are typically used for both meat and wool production, with their meat known for its quality and flavor. Lonk sheep are recognized for their good mothering instincts, ease of lambing, and strong maternal traits, which make them popular for commercial lamb production in upland areas.
