The Manx Loaghtan is a rare breed of sheep native to the Isle of Man, originating from a prehistoric breed found in isolated parts of North West Europe. It is a hardy creature, and unusual in that both sexes tend to produce two or three pairs of horns! It became endangered in the 1950's when only 43 were left, but now due to a number of enthusiasts there are many thriving flocks.
This design includes the Manx proverb: ‘Shegin goaill ny eairkyn marish y cheh.’
Translation: We must take the horns with the hide.
Meaning: We must take the rough with the smooth.
