Sheep have been grazing in the UK for thousands of years and provide us with wool, one of the greatest natural resources available to us.
The meat sheep breeds introduced in the United Kingdom are mainly Texel, Suffolk, Charlotte and Hornless DowSett sheep (in this expedition, no Dubo sheep were seen in the United Kingdom, let alone Australian white), which are mainly used for the economic cross-breeding of patrilineal rams with local sheep, and the lambs are directly fattened out of the pen to supply the lamb market.
Clun Forest is a hybrid of many now-extinct local species, named after Shropshire/Powys.
They have no horns, are clever, have dark brown faces and legs, and have some white wool under the knees and tarsal joints. Their wool is usually thin and dense, with uniform coat quality and few dark fibers.
They live mainly on the Welsh border and in some lowland areas. It is mainly used in Japanese futons
