The Bluefaced Leicester was the
featured sheep breed at the 2007 New York Wool & Sheep Festival held at
the Duchess County Fairgrounds in Rhinebeck, NY in October. The Blueface
is an English longwool type, predominantly white. Its face is wool-free
but is covered with white hairs over its black skin, giving it its
characteristic blue hue appearance. Here is my rendition,
measuring about 8“ tall. Not seen here is a yellow ID tag in his
ear. |
