Transcript of the Shropshire Sheep

0:01
we are here in our very noisy group of
0:05
sheep
0:07
there’s a few different types of sheep
0:09
in here but the one we’re talking about
0:10
today is this one it’s the Shropshire
0:13
sheep can you see their faces are darker
0:16
than the other sheep and they have white
0:18
wool
0:19
well this is bobby our favourite
0:21
Shropshire and we’re going to show you
0:22
more about them so Shropshires are quite
0:24
a good multi-purpose breed they’re good
0:26
at work and they’re good at meat but
0:28
they weren’t ever fantastic at either so
0:32
they became really very rare within the
0:34
last 50 years but now they found their
0:38
own niche market it was discovered that
0:41
these Shropshire sheep actually don’t
0:43
eat the bark of trees when they’re
0:45
grazing in fields so they’re now all
0:48
over the Uk in orchards and vineyards
0:51
grazing grass
0:52
but not grazing the trees we hope so now
0:55
they found their niche and their
0:57
superpower they’re actually not rare
0:59
anymore which is a fantastic news story
1:02
for the Shropshire sheep and for all
1:03
other types of rare trees as well
1:06
because if we’d lost them we would never
1:07
have found out their superpowers
