HFF everyone!

Taken at The Thomas Hardy Victorian Fair, Dorchester. ~ This young shepherd was happy to talk about his very own sheep that he looked after on his father's farm. They are Dorset Down sheep. A breed native to the Dorset Downs region and originated in the early 19th century from crosses of local and Hampshire ewes with Southdown rams.
