    I was about to ask that. Is it a domesticated breed, or a wild sheep?
    Very elegant, at any rate.

    Hmm, I would say domesticated...

    Now , the real question is : Are Highland sheep to be considered domesticated ?


    Best,

    Nice look, Robert. You have given me some ideas for my walks here on the coast.

    Well, Robert, they are pretty wild out there in the Hielans, but technically they are domesticated.
    Nonetheless you have given me an idea – just a pity my family no longer farms with karakul sheep.

    Mike
