Cairngorm Ewe .

A Blackface Ewe on top of Carn Bhac in the Cairngorm Hills certainly has a huge wild area to roam about in here. They are a very tough breed of sheep suitable for hill, mountain & moorland grazing and are easily hefted for these unfenced environments. The ewes make very good mothers & can rear their young in the harshest terrains. There were quite a few ewes wandering about the hills on this hillwalk. Often wonder why they often graze on the exposed hilltops rather than the sheltered glens.
