Do you know the breed of the last two? Jacobs or Herdwick?

Not 100% I've always assumed that they were Jacobs. I may be completely wrong! I'm sure there are experts on here who could tell us. I don't know the breed of the black ones either, I did think they were Welsh Mountain Blacks. Help please someone.

The spotty ones with horns are definitely Jacobs, and I'd go with Black Welsh Mountains too but not 100%.

I hope the wildlife can read otherwise they’ll just see the no entry symbol and turn back

Looks like a cross of some sort.

I may have posted this before - they can be a bit stroppy

Caption?

Doh! I misread that - I saw“ … Somme” under it read it as where the photo was taken! Sorry for wasting everybody’s time. I’ve been for a CT scan of my head today, perhaps they’ll find it empty judging by this .

How to rugby tackle a brace of Border 'Froggie' Leicesters.

Mach Loop sheep back in August this year, no idea what the breed is. They must be used to all the visitors as they pretty much ignored us
