The Wonderful Wensleydale

 The North American Wensleydale sheep is well on it's way to fulfilling it's mission to re-create the lovely UK Wensleydale  breed, here in the US. Working over many generations to infuse our foundation ewes with as much genetics from the original breed, we have some breeders who have produced outstanding animals that reliably reproduce the quality inherent in this longwool. The breed is large bodied, polled and produces an outstanding longwool fiber. The unique curled locks with a superior handle and unbelievable shine is coveted by fiber artists all over the world. This is a dual purpose breed that produces a lean carcass and mild flavor.  Curious and majestic this sheep will grab your attention and inspire you to add them to your flock. Look for the characteristic blue skin on the nose and face, with a cascade of curls falling down from it's forelock, wideset eyes and alert blue ears
