Welsh Mountain sheep

Welsh Mountain sheep (Welsh: Defaid Mynydd Cymreig, pronounced [ˈdɛvaid ˈmənɨð ˈkəmrɛiɡ]; singular Dafad) are small, hardy sheep from the higher parts of the Welsh mountains. The males have horns, and the females are polled (hornless); they have no wool on the face or legs, and they have long tails (normally left undocked). There are a number of varieties, bred for sheep farming in Wales. These are mainly colour variations, but some are being developed as separate breeds.
