Good hardy sheep,
Brecknock Hill Cheviots, (not near as wild as their bigger cousins) Handsdown the best breed of sheep, I have ever raised. Rams overall, quite peaceful, and easy to be around. Excellent fleece for handspining, Nice loft, slight spring, blends well.
Soay Shorter fleece, but does not have to be sheared.
Icleandic sheep (But you have to be careful with the Rams, as they tend to be aggressive)
Jacob - Same goes with the Rams... I stopped breeding these many many years ago because I could not find a Ram with the Temperament requirements I wanted. Quality of wool varies greatly, from Very corse to medium.
Black Welsh Mountain,,, with these, I would buy the ones that were born from UK Semen. Wool is more corse, but blends well.
Depending on line Rams can get very aggressive.
Border Leicester- Overall a nice gentle sheep, but on the bigger side. Another excellent fleece for handspinning, softer, but not as much loft as the Brecknock Cheviot. Also great for spinning thread as well as yarn. Rams overall, quite peaceful, and easy to be around.
A nice all around cross breeds on the smaller side,, Brecknock Cheviot and Babydoll southdown.
Pure bred BD Southdowns, are not very hardy sheep and need alot of help at lambing time,, but when crossed with the Cheviot, the offspring become much more hardy. The BD also adds a bit of softness to the BH Cheviots fleece.
