Soay Sheep originated on an island off the coast of Scotland and are a domestic animal with a lifespan of 10 to 12 years. They eat grasses, grains, and plants, and have 1 to 2 offspring. Unlike many breeds, they lack a flocking instinct, so attempts to work them with sheep dogs scatter the group. The breed is becoming smaller because of the change in climate, and in the wild it is common.
