Beulah Speckled Face

The Beulah Speckled Face is a breed of domestic sheep originating in United Kingdom. Having been bred in Wales for more than a hundred years, a breed society was officially formed in 1958. This breed is most common in Eppynt, Llanafan, Abergwesyn and Llanwrtyd Wells,[1] it is named for its distinctly patterned black and white face, which is free from wool. Ewes, which are naturally polled, are often crossed with lowland rams such as the Suffolk, Texel or Bluefaced Leicester to breed mules, and to produce market lambs for meat. Average Beulah Speckled Face ewes weigh 52 kg (110 lb), and rams 86 kg (190 lb).[2]
