Ireland has a long history of farming sheep for their wool. The vast mountainous landscapes the country boasts are perfect. With so much open space for sheep to graze, farmers are able to keep large numbers of the animals. Even though there are large numbers of sheep in the country, the majority of these breeds are not native to Ireland. Cheviot sheep produce wool that is perfect for making tweed clothing as their wool is incredibly soft. These sheep are particularly resistant to windy conditions so fare quite well in the hilly climbs of Irelan
