The Swaledale breed of domestic sheep (female shown here) is found throughout the mountainous areas of Great Britain. It is noted for its off-white wool and curled horns in males. The pink spot on the ewe's back is the raddling, which indicates that it has already mated. Swaledales are hardy sheep, and are able to be reared without indoor accommodation. They are an official symbol of the Yorkshire Dales.Photo: David Iliff
