There are more than 60 different pure breeds of sheep found in the UK, and up to as many 90 when you consider all the crossbreeds and composites. Breeds all have their own characteristics and suitability for our variety of landscapes, often originating from a very specific part of the country. These sheep and the people who look after them have shaped the landscapes we are familiar with and created the communities that keep rural areas alive.

There are thought to be more sheep breeds in the UK than any other country in the world.
