About the breed
Wensleydale is a British breed of sheep named for the Wensleydale region of North Yorkshire, England.
They were originally bred in the nineteenth century by cross-breeding a Dishley Leicester ram with a local sheep that is now extinct.
It is a rare sheep breed and known for its high quality wool.
