British Milk sheep are medium to large polled sheep with a
predominantly white face and legs. Their head is usually free from wool, the
muzzle broad and the ears long. The ewe is naturally prolific and is noted for
its quiet temperament which is important in the management of high performance
sheep. The conformation of the ewe, particularly the roomy pelvic area, ensures
that lambing is easy. The rams have a long body and good hindquarters. They are
robust and active being keen and vigorous workers all through the year. Average
mature ewe weighs 80kg, rams 110kg.
