Romney

The Romney traces its beginning to the marshy area of Kent in England. Often swept with harsh winds and heavy rainfall, the Kent landscape is abundant with lush forage. These geographic and climatic conditions have led to the development of some specific characteristics in the Romney breed. These traits include hooves that are resistant to foot rot and fleeces that remain healthy in harsh weather. Due to the similar land topography and weather conditions, the Romney breed made an easy transition to New Zealand and the Falkland Islands, where it became quickly established and still remains the predominant breed. The Romney was first introduced into the US in 1904.

The Romney was the first breed that I carved in 1993, so it was very nice to revisit it.
