It’s the season! Okay, so it could be many seasons, but the Easter holiday is upon us and everything is bursting with life, so we’ll concentrate on the cute stuff like Spring and fluffy sheep. And the one we have today is definitely fluffy, but only if unshorn.
Today we’re talking with Erin Bradt of Helder-Herdwyck Farm about the Herdwick Sheep. This sturdy little creature has a different look, a perpetual smile, and some serious survival creds. Viking lore, Beatrix Potter, the National Trust, the beauties of The Lake District and more are connected to this breed over in Jolly Old England. We met up with Erin at the New York State Sheep and Wool Festival, where she is doing her part to bring attention to this fascinating animal. Establishing a new breed on this continent is no small thing, and we tip our collective cap to her.
We’ll bring you more on this animal and others this Summer, straight from their homeland. Stay tuned, because after years of saving and hoping, Backyard Green Films is going to trace some of our favorite heritage breeds to their source in person this time - British style.
