These sheep in a field alongside the car park of HM Prison Springhill and on the slopes of Spring Hill, may be Herdwick sheep which originated in the fells of the Lake District and are widely thought to be the hardiest British breed. The lambs are born almost black turning lighter as they grow older, so each year's fleece is paler than the year before.
