Sheep
Sheep were domesticated thousands of years ago, being raised primarily for meat and fiber. Before the development of modern synthetic materials, clothing made from wool was the best way to keep warm in the winter!
Westmoor’s sheep herd is made up of several different breeds, ranging from common (Shropshires and Romneys) to uncommon heritage breeds (Leicester Longwool and Jacob). This mix allows us to demonstrate the amazing diversity within the sheep community.
