The Dalesbred is a breed of domestic sheep originating in the United Kingdom. Derived from the Swaledale and Scottish Blackface breeds, the Dalesbred is a hill breed most common around Upper Wharfedale and the Central Pennines in England. Very similar in appearance to its parent breeds, it has horns in both rams and ewes and a white carpet-quality fleece. It can be best distinguished by having a white spot on each side of its black face, with the end of the muzzle becoming grey. This breed is primarily used for meat and wool production. The legs are free of wool and are mottled black and white. Dalesbred ewes weigh 45 to 60 kg (99 to 130 lb) and rams 55 to 75 kg (120 to 170 lb).
