Five distinctive-looking Badger Face Texel lambs are born on a farm in Gloucestershire.
BBC News
A breed of sheep that facially resembles a badger has been successfully bred on a farm in Gloucestershire for the first time.The breed originates in the Netherlands and is less commonly seen in the UK. They are characterised by dark wool that is almost black at birth, but then turns brown in adulthood, with white streaks on their face.Sue and Aubrey Andrews have farmed sheep for 40 years."We have a lot of White Texels and a lot of Blue Texels now, and they're just something slightly different."I wouldn't want to breed something that was no use for anything, they have a useful purpose [for their meat particularly, but also their wool] and they're nice to look at.
