It's not something I talk about much, but the preservation of rare livestock breeds is near to my heart, and our reason for choosing to keep Soay sheep in the first place was to have a preservation flock of breeding individuals. Soay are still in the at-risk category, with flocks being both few and far between.

Soay, undoubtedly like other breeds in the Priority and At Risk groups, are unusual sheep and have different behavior patterns and care requirements than more common breeds. For example, the woman who sold us our ewes did so because they fit very poorly in her more conventional shepherding system. That means that they, and others, need people like us to meet them where they are. Skittish and half-feral, unherdable, small, and primitive--but beautiful, hardy, independent, and fey. We'll be doing well if we ever manage to make our flock pay for itself--it's never made us a penny so far-- but we only ever love them more as time passes.

Cryptid of the Day: Soay Island Sea Monster

Description: In September of 1959, off the coast of the Scottish island of Soay, two fishermen saw was they described as “a large, humped back, turtle-like beast”, about 6-10 feet long. Skeptics think that what the men saw was a sea turtle.

8th December 1987: The Scottish Land Court ordered the English owner of the Hebridean Island of Soay to sell more than half the island to a crofter who had lived there for more than 41 years.

Born in 1919, Joseph "Tex" Geddes - typically, he claimed he was given his nickname by a Red Indian fellow commando.

By his own account, he was born in Peterhead, Aberdeenshire, and taken to Canada by his father when he was two, following a trivial altercation with the police. Others maintain he was raised by an aunt, the youngest of three fighting brothers, in Easter Ross, and never went to Canada in his life. His neighbours in nearby Skye believed that he hailed from Australia.

In the book Hebridean Sharker Tex Geddes describes his exploits during the 1950s as a hunter of basking sharks in the waters of the Minch, between the Inner and Outer Hebrides. Using an adapted whaling harpoon, he and his crew stalked these huge fish often in perilous conditions, the liver of which is a valuable source of oil.

Always a maverick, before World War Two Geddes had been a boxer and a rumrunner to Newfoundland. During the war he established a reputation as an expert knife-thrower and bayonet fencer and served in the Special Forces with fellow hebridean Gavin Maxwell (author of Ring of Bright Water), and was a central character in Maxwell's Harpoon at a Venture

He combined the hazardous pursuit of sharks with crewing the local lifeboat, ring-net fishing, lobstering, deer-stalking and salmon poaching.

Thesubject of previous posts, historian of Gaelic culture Margaret Fay Shaw said of him: "Tex was a great storyteller and important as such. He was also immensely kind, and had that hunger for life and fun that is essential if you are to make a go of living in these islands. The Hebrides needs more people like Tex Geddes. So does the world

He went on to purchase the tiny island of Soay, where he lived with his wife Jeanne, Geddes continued fishing basking sharks, selling unprocessed livers rather than processed oil to Glasgow.While much of the remaining population of the island evacuated to Mull in 1953, Geddes and his family remained. Geddes protested at the lack of emergency telephone services and with the threat of loss of postal service to the remaining inhabitants of the island, he asked people to send him registered letters and packages. As a result the service was kept with post arriving once a month.

Today the island has a population of three, and the post arrives once a month. The population peaked at 158 in 1851, following eviction of crofters from Skye in the Clearances.

Tex Geddes, died on 11th April 1998 while returning from a bagpiping competition in the Outer Hebrides

(Soay)

[rederiswrites]

So in order to do this pasture improvement program thing we'll probably need to have more than two sheep. And in order to have more than two sheep we'll probably have to keep like, almost any other breed than Soay, with the exception of maybe some crazy Tunisian breed or something from, I dunno., Laos. And there are a TON of other awesome sheep breeds, and as much as I love Soays, it would be nice to keep a breed that was maybe actually a little friendly.

But even so, I've been resisting doing the research because, well, I really love Soay. (Not that we're giving up on Soay! Just supplementing.) So I thought it'd be fun--hit me with your favorite heritage sheep breeds! Show me something cool!
