Manx Loaghtan Lambs
'Manx Loaghtan' is a sheep breed originating from the UK that is registered as an endangered species.
They are characterized by their brown wool and their horns. It is a rare breed where they grow two to four, and sometimes up to six, large horns. 'Loaghtan' is said to mean 'small, adorable brown thing' in Viking language.
While there are said to be over 1,000 breeds of sheep, this particular breed has maintained its original appearance to this day, leading it to be called the 'ancestor of sheep,' as it is a breed very close to the original wild species.
They are pitch black as lambs but turn brown as they grow.
Two male Manx Loaghtan lambs were born at Mother Farm, and their horns are slowly starting to grow. They are expected to grow impressive horns like their parents.
You can meet these jet-black lambs, only visible during their early life, on the Mother Farm Tour DX.
*Please note that they may not be visible depending on the animal's physical condition.

They are growing healthy every day by drinking plenty of milk.
They are a bit mischievous and often wander off when the staff isn't watching.
