Welcome to the Dalesbred Sheep website
Dalesbred sheep are indigenous to the upper reaches of the Dales which comprise the central area of the Pennine Hills on the borders of the North and West Ridings of Yorkshire, North Lancashire and Cumbria. Here the Dalesbred sheep are well suited to both hill and lowland farms, able to cope with harsh environments and good pasture grazing capable of producing a quality carcass pure or crossbred lamb from any area suitable for today’s market requirements.

Due to Covid-19, all shows this year have been cancelled. For breeders that would like to enter we have decided run an online photo entry show. Photos of the sheep that are entered will be judged by two judges (to be confirmed). Once the judges have made their joint decisions, the photos will be published on Facebook for others to see. This will be a great way to promote the qualities of the Dalesbred breed as well as giving breeders who are missing the show season a chance to show off this years show team! All photo entries to be sent to: Heather.challis@hotmail.co.uk by 20th September. All photos must have been taken within the month, contain date taken, and name to be show under. **𝕀𝕗 𝕓𝕝𝕠𝕠𝕕𝕝𝕚𝕟𝕖𝕤 (𝔻𝕒𝕞, 𝕊𝕚𝕣𝕖, 𝔻𝕒𝕞’𝕤 𝕊𝕚𝕣𝕖) 𝕔𝕒𝕟 𝕓𝕖 𝕡𝕦𝕥 𝕒𝕝𝕠𝕟𝕘 𝕤𝕚𝕕𝕖 𝕖𝕒𝕔𝕙 𝕡𝕙𝕠𝕥𝕠 𝕥𝕙𝕒𝕥 𝕨𝕠𝕦𝕝𝕕 𝕓𝕖 𝕖𝕧𝕖𝕟 𝕓𝕖𝕥𝕥𝕖𝕣.
