Welsh Mountain sheep ((ウェールズ語:Defaid (sing;"Dafad") Mynydd Cymreig), ) are small, hardy sheep from the higher parts of the Welsh mountains.〔 〕 The males have horns, and the females are polled (hornless); they have no wool on the face or legs, and they have long tails (normally left undocked). There are a number of varieties, bred for sheep farming in Wales. These are mainly colour variations, but some are being developed as separate breeds. ==Varieties== *White Welsh Mountain sheep, all-white. The most common variety in the Welsh Mountains; also kept elsewhere. *Badger Face Welsh Mountain (''Defaid Idloes'', (:ˈdevaɪd ˈɪdlɔɪs)). Two varieties: * *''Torddu'' ((:tɔrˈðiː), "black-bellied"), white with dark face and belly. * *''Torwen'' ((:tɔrˈwɛn), "white-bellied"), black with white belly and white stripes over the eyes. *Balwen Welsh Mountain, black (fading to brown in sunlight and greying with age) with white blaze on face, white socks on legs below hocks and part-white tail. *Black Welsh Mountain (''Defaid Mynydd Duon'', (:ˈdevaɪd ˈmənɪð ˈdɪɔn)), all-black. Many flocks of white Welsh Mountains have one or two black sheep, but they are now also bred as a consistent black variety. *South Wales Mountain. Similar to other Welsh Mountains, but rather larger. White, with tan markings on legs and face, and a brown collar. 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「Welsh Mountain sheep」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
