The Cotswold is a heritage breed of domestic sheep that originated in the Cotswold Hills of England. It is a large, long-wooled breed known for its distinctive appearance and high-quality fleece. Cotswold sheep have a sturdy build with a long, broad body and a distinctive roman nose. They are typically white or cream in color and have a dense, lustrous fleece that grows in long, curly locks or "lusters". Cotswold fleece is prized for its high luster, softness, and strong crimp, making it highly desirable for spinning and weaving into luxurious yarns and textiles. Cotswold sheep are known for their excellent foraging abilities and adaptability to different climates and environments. They are docile and friendly in nature, which makes them easy to handle and manage. Cotswold sheep are primarily used for their fleece, but they also produce flavorful and tender meat. They are a rare breed, but efforts are being made to preserve and promote their genetics and fleece qualities.
