"The Herdwick is a breed of domestic sheep native to the Lake District
in North West England. The name "Herdwick" is derived from the Old Norse
herdvyck, meaning sheep pasture. Though low in lambing capacity and
perceived wool quality when compared to more common commercial breeds,
Herdwicks are prized for their robust health, their ability to live
solely on forage, and their tendency to be territorial and not to stray
over the difficult upland terrain of the Lake District. It is considered
that up to 99% of all Herdwick sheep are commercially farmed in the
central and western Lake District.
The wool of a Herdwick has unique
qualities relating to durability. Thick bristle type fibres will often
protrude from garments made from the wool, forming a protective layer in
blizzards—most likely the same qualities that protect the sheep in
similar conditions. Herdwicks have been known to survive under a blanket
of snow for three days while eating their own wool.(Wikipedia)"
