DescriptionTexel ewe and twin lambs - geograph.org.uk - 767717.jpg
English: Texel ewe and twin lambs. Interestingly, the ewes appear to be wearing their tags not in their ears but attached to a collar around their necks. The buildings seen in the background belong to Windmill farm > 767712. Texel sheep originate from the island of Texel, one of the northwestern islands off Holland. In the early 1930s the breed was introduced to France; the first Texel sheep, four rams which were imported for experimental purposes, were brought to the United Kingdom in 1970, and in 1973 sheep farmers from Lanarkshire imported a number of ewes and rams from France. Presently the British Texel Sheep Society is the largest pedigree sheep society in the country; farmers favour the breed for its exceptional carcass qualities. http://www.texel.co.uk/
