Hebrideans  have grown more popular in recent years and is not considered a rare breed.

 

Larger than Soays, they have an even temperament and luxurious fleece.  This makes them hardier and less vulnerable to inclement weather.  They prefer climbing to jumping and have similar dietary requirements to the Soays, although less inclined to enjoy tree bark.

​

Rams tend to be well-socialised, although protective, and are easily caught.
