Devon Longwool


The Devon Longwool was a British list of [sheep breeds|breed] of domestic sheep from south-west England. It was distributed in southern Somerset and northern Devon, and was – like the Greyface Dartmoor and the South Devon – a polled longwool sheep. It is now considered extinct, as in 1977 it was merged with the South Devon to form the Devon and [Cornwall Longwool].

History
