| Publisher Description: The Whitefaced Woodland is one of the larger and more distinctive hill breeds of sheep, characterised by their horns - which are heavily spiralled in rams, the quality of their wool and meat, and - as the name of the breed would suggest - their white legs and faces. It is a historic breed, and one classified by the Rare Breeds Survival Trust as being a rare breed. The Whitefaced Woodland Sheep Society exists to preserve and promote the breed, by amongst other things keeping breeders in touch with one another and maintaining a register of pure bred sheep. Some sixteen years ago, the society began a project of compiling flock profiles - interviewing breeders and photographing their flocks - with the aims of sharing information and promoting the rare and ancient breed. Those flock profiles are collected here together for the first time, and bring together a wealth of information (and opinion), engagingly presented and illustrated with colour photographs throughout - which will be of interest not only to Whitefaced Woodland breeders, but anyone with an interest in livestock or rare breeds. |
