Hill Radnor Sheep

The Hill Radnor is a breed of the domestic sheep (or Ovis aries) from the United Kingdom, found in Wales and England. Its name is a reference to its location of origin, the highlands of the historic Welsh county of Radnorshire and surrounding areas. It was likely developed from other native breeds in the area and was first recognised as a breed in 1911. Hill Radnors are a hardy breed of sheep, with broad bodies, and thick, off-white wool. The legs and face are brown to tan in colour and free from wool, and the muzzle is white. Rams of this breed have two curled horns, while ewes are naturally hornless. Rams average at 80cm tall, weighing 70kg to 80kg, and ewes stand 75cm tall with a weight of 50kg to 55kg.
