Clun Forest Sheep Breed Information
The Clun Forest is originally from Shropshire’s southwestern district in England, which is next to the border of Wales. They are predominant in the Wales Marshes as well. They name is derived from an old town known as Clun. It is speculated that the Clon Forest is a combination of the Shropshire and Hill Radnor, though there is no evidence to support the fact. These medium-sized sheep are resilient and easy to take care of. They are typically brown and black in the face, which is wool-free. The legs are also free of wool while the rest of the body is cover in fleece that is medium-wool. The Clun Forest ewes are good at raising sheep and are strong milkers as well. They tend to live long lives and are also good mothers.
