I really like how the look with the white heads and black coat. Or maybe brown and light brown. Do you know which breed it is?

@overalvandaan Thank you. They are Herdwick.

Are these sheep - or goats? Not baby cattle beasts! Somehow they look as if they are sheltering from the cold!

Thanks, interesting read on wikipedia on them and now I know that Beatrix Potter (my children love watching Peter Rabbit) loved them too.
