What is a "Hebridean"?
Hebridean sheep are a small-sized breed known for their hardiness and adaptability to harsh environments. They are native to the Hebrides islands off the coast of Scotland and are well-suited to the challenging conditions of these remote islands. Hebrideans are characterized by their distinctive black fleece, which can sometimes have brown or grey shading, and their strong conservation status as a rare breed. They have a unique appearance, with a small frame, strong build, and impressive set of horns that can curl around their heads. Hebridean sheep are often kept for conservation grazing, as they are excellent for managing rough or heathland areas due to their browsing habits. They are also valued for their flavorful meat and are gaining popularity among small-scale farmers and artisanal meat producers.
