Masham

A country show star, the Masham is a common sight in the eastern Dales of North Yorkshire, and are showed off every year at the world famous Masham Sheep Fair. They're a mixture of the Swaledale and the Teeswater breeds, both hardy hill sheep, and it's from them the Masham has gained its trademark good looks. The lamb is typically of well proportioned quality, with a sweet edge to its natural character, and as a heritage breed, is well worth trying for its unique taste.
