Proudly bred in the heart of the Yorkshire Dales, the Dalesbred sheep is a true product of our landscape - hardy, dependable, and steeped in tradition.

The Dalesbred Sheep Breeders’ Association exists to protect, promote, and preserve this remarkable hill breed. Made up of farmers, families, and flock keepers from across the Dales and beyond, our Society works to:

• Support breeders with advice, resources, and community

• Champion the qualities of the Dalesbred at shows and sales

• Encourage the next generation into hill farming

• Protect the heritage of one of Yorkshire’s most iconic breeds

Whether you keep a handful of sheep or manage a large flock, you’re welcome here. We are a hands-on, friendly society that believes in honest stock, good farming, and strong community ties.
