Soay Sheep
| Soay Sheep are small,
primitive Sheep that are low maintenance, easy lambers and very hardy. They have no known diseases, need no treatments, no hoof trimmings and no shearing. Wool is collected by brushing or "rooing" the sheep. These animals are ideal for small properties and they will improve pasture while grazing. They love invasive weeds like Knapweed, Thistle and Tansy. Soay Sheep are curious, shy, cold-hardy and kid-friendly. |

Soay Sheep come from the remote island of Soay, about sixty miles off the northwest coast of Scotland, where they have survived as a stranded, isolated population for thousands of years, completely unmanaged by man. These ruminants are thought to have descended from the flocks of primitive Bronze Age shepherds. They are more primitive than any other Northern European Short-tailed sheep breed. |
| Soay Sheep are smaller than
domesticated sheep breeds, but also hardier and much more agile. Their primitive look is stunning! |

Soay Sheep will mow your
lawn and fertilize your garden. They will also get rid of invasive weeds and will give you wool. You can also harvest the meat, which is a delicacy, and tan beautiful pelts. |
| We breed and sell Soay
