Jarrow Hall announces sad death of much-loved four-horned sheep

The team behind the farm at Jarrow Hall have announced the sad death of Flynn, a four horned sheep who called the site home.

Flynn was moved to the organisation seven years ago.

During his time at the farm he became a favourite for families thanks to his two pairs of horns, which are common in the breed.

Announcing the news, Jarrow Hall said: “Flynn came to us about seven years ago to raise awareness of the Hebridean breed and to live out his days in peace.”

They added: “He was instantly recognisable in the field with his 4 large horns and loved to pose for a photograph.”

In 1973 the Rare Breeds Survival Trust identified Hebridean sheep as a breed in danger of extinction, a status it no longer holds thanks to breeding efforts.
