The 'Wild' Sheep of Britain
The 'Wild' Sheep of Britain </. C. Greig and A. B. Cooper Primitive breeds of sheep and goats, such as the Ronaldsay sheep of Orkney, could be in danger of disappearing with the present rapid decline in pastoral farming. The authors, both members of the Department of Forestry and Natural Resources in Edinburgh University, point out that, quite apart from their historical and cultural interest, these breeds have an important part to play in modern livestock breeding, which needs a constant infusion of new genes from unimproved breeds to get the benefits of hybrid vigour. Moreover these primitive breeds are able to use the poor land and live in the harsh environment which no modern hybrid sheep can stand. Recent work on primitive breeds of sheep and goats in Scotland has drawn attention not only to the necessity for conserving them, but also to the fact that there is no organisation taking a direct scientific in- terest in them. Primitive livestock strains are the jetsam of the Agricul- tural Revolution, and they tend to survive in Europe's peripheral regions. The sheep breeds are the best examples, such as the sheep of Ushant, off the Brittany coast, the Ronaldsay sheep of Orkney, the Shetland sheep, the Soay sheep of St Kilda, and the Manx Loaghtan breed. Presumably all have survived because of their isolation in these remote and usually infertile areas. A 'primitive breed' is a livestock breed which has remained relatively unchanged through the last 200 years of modern animal-breeding techniques. The word 'primitive' is perhaps unfortunate, since it implies qualities which are obsolete or undeveloped. -

Ewe Lamb in the Local Village Show Where Most of the Exhibits Were Taken from the Fields on the Day of the Show
Cotswold Sheep Society Newsletter Registered Charity No. 1013326 ` Autumn 2011 Hampton Rise, 1 High Street, Meysey Hampton, Gloucestershire, GL7 5JW [email protected] www.cotswoldsheepsociety.co.uk Council Officers Chairman – Mr. Richard Mumford Vice-Chairman – Mr. Thomas Jackson Secretary - Mrs. Lucinda Foster Treasurer- Mrs. Lynne Parkes Council Members Mrs. M. Pursch, Mrs. C. Cunningham, The Hon. Mrs. A. Reid, Mr. R Leach, Mr. D. Cross. Mr. S. Parkes, Ms. D. Stanhope Editors –John Flanders, The Hon. Mrs. Angela Reid Pat Quinn and Joe Henson discussing the finer points of……….? EDITORIAL It seems not very long ago when I penned the last editorial, but as they say time marches on and we are already into Autumn, certainly down here in Wales the trees have shed many of their leaves, in fact some began in early September. In this edition I am delighted that Joe Henson has agreed to update his 1998 article on the Bemborough Flock and in particular his work with the establishment to the RBST. It really is fascinating reading and although I have been a member of the Society since 1996 I have learnt a huge amount particularly as one of my rams comes from the RASE flock and Joe‟s article fills in a number of gaps in my knowledge. As you will see in the AGM Report, Pat Quinn has stepped down as President and Robert Boodle has taken over that position with Judy Wilkie becoming Vice President. On a personal basis, I would like to thank Pat Quinn for her willing help in supplying articles for the Newsletter and the appointment of Judy Wilkie is a fitting tribute to someone who has worked tirelessly over many years for the Society – thank you and well done to you both. -

Why Farm Animals are Important 2. Part 1. Title Slide 3. Woman with Ossabaw pigs People and animals have lived together for thousands of years. 4. Two girls holding Leicester Longwool lambs We love and care for animals. They are useful partners and good companions. 5. Milking Devon cow standing beside woods Farm animals are important in two ways. First, they provide food for people to eat. Cows, for example, produce milk. 6. Hen on nest with eggs Chickens lay eggs. 7. Eggs from chicken, duck, goose, and turkey in an egg carton Ducks, geese, and turkeys lay eggs too. All of these eggs are good to eat. 8. New Hampshire rooster looking for food in the grass Farm animals are also important because of the jobs they can do. Chickens, for example, eat weeds, insects, and other pests. 9. Two Guinea Hogs in a pasture, with small turkeys in the background Pigs are recyclers, eating many different foods – such as acorns, insects, roots, mice, kitchen scraps, fruit, and sour milk. Pigs eat small snakes too. Not so long ago, people would have a pig in the yard to keep snakes away! 10. Pigs in garden space A pig’s nose is called a snout. Pigs use their snouts for digging up roots or “rooting.” These pigs have been put into a garden after harvest to dig up roots, eat insects, and turn the soil for spring planting. -

Tins aneienb ornamental breed has been variously described as Spanish, Syrian, Portuguese, African, Z!flu , Persian, Egyptian, Barbary, and.also as "Jacob's Sheep." Owing to the uncertainty regarding the origin, of the breed, it is perhaps best to follow Elwes (1913) in using the non- committal name "Piebald;" These sheep possess many excellent economic qualities and it is doubtless due to this fact as well as to their picturesque appearance that so many flocks are in existence in this country, Wallace (1925) putting the number of flocks as high as one hundred and fifty. Piebald sheep have been in existence in England for a considerable period, and pictures at Tabley House and at Wentworth painted about 1760 show that there has been little change in appearance since that time. Painstaking efforts to trace the breed in other countries have fated, and their country of origin must remain a matter of considerable doubt. -
