The Derbyshire Gritstone is a breed of domestic sheep native to the United Kingdom. A hardy hill sheep, it is also one of the oldest British breeds.[1] [2] The Gritstone is generally found around Derbyshire, Cheshire, Yorkshire, and Lancashire. They are large, polled sheep with black and white faces.[3] The Gritstone has a finer fleece than most hill breeds, but is still kept primarily for meat production.[2]
