Tour Scotland Photograph Judging Black Faced Rams Strathardle

Tour Scotland photograph of judging Black Faced Rams at Strathardle Agricultural Show, Kirkmichael, Perthshire, Scotland. The origins of the breed are uncertain. It was developed on the Anglo-Scottish border but it is not clear exactly when it became a distinct breed. It replaced the earlier Scottish Dunface or Old Scottish Short-wool, a Northern European short tailed sheep type probably similar to the modern Shetland.
