laThe Kerry Hill breed originates from the hills around the small town of Kerry, on the English/Welsh borders. Once extremely numerous, numbers declined, and the Kerry Hill was until recently included on the rare breeds lists. However, this striking sheep is making a comeback, thanks mainly to its attractiveness to small-holders, who fall for its appearance. The Kerry has a striking black and white face, with a black muzzle and black patches around the eyes, and very upright black ears. The legs are white with black knees and feet, and the fleece is pure white, dense and springy. The ewes are excellent mothers and frequently produce twins and sometimes triplets. The breed has a good conformation, and surplus lambs make good meat animals. Our Kerry Hill sheep are registered with the Kerry Hill Flock Book Society.
