Soay
Definition: Soay
Soay: a rare horned breed of sheep which sheds its fleece naturally, thought to be the link between wild and domesticated breeds. The short hairy fleece is tan or dark brown. (NOTE: The breed originally came from the island of Soay in the Outer Hebrides.) Raising Soay sheep provides farmers with a unique and resilient breed, supporting biodiversity and niche market opportunities.
