The Portland is a sheep breed that takes its name from the Isle of Portland in Dorset, England. This breed is raised primarily for meat.〔 〕 ==History== Once common all over Dorset, the breed was once one of the rarest in Britain and is still at risk. It nearly became extinct in the 1970s, but has now recovered through efforts of dedicated breeders and the help of the Rare Breeds Survival Trust.〔 〕 It is now listed as "at risk", being a minority breed.〔 〕 As one of the very old tan-faced breeds native to heathlands, the Portland was a primary contributor to the Dorset breed.〔 Fancy's Family Farm, a community farm on the Isle of Portland is home to the only flock of the Portland Sheep breed on the island. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Portland sheep」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
