Cheviot sheep

The Cheviot (Scottish Gaelic: A' chaora mhaol) is a British breed of white-faced sheep. It originated in, and is named for, the Cheviot Hills in north Northumberland and the Scottish Borders. It is still common in this area of the United Kingdom, but also in north-west Scotland, Wales, Ireland and the south-west of England (especially Dartmoor and Exmoor), as well as more rarely in Australia, New Zealand, Norway (2%), and the United States. It is a dual-purpose breed, raised both for wool and for meat.
