Beulah Speckled Face Sheep, Domestic Sheep Breed, Ovis aries, Caprinae, Bovidae, Artiodactyla. The Beulah Speckled Face is a breed of domestic sheep originating in the United Kingdom. Having been bred in Wales for more than a hundred years a breed society was officially formed in 1958. This breed is most common in Eppynt Llanafan Abergwesyn and Llanwrtyd Wells. it is named for its distinctly patterned black and white face which is free from wool. Domestic sheep, Ovis aries, are quadrupedal ruminant mammals, typically kept as livestock. Like all ruminants, sheep are members of the order Artiodactyla, the even toed ungulates. Although the name sheep applies to many species, in everyday usage it almost always refers to Ovis aries. Numbering a little over 1 billion, domestic sheep are the most numerous species in their genus.
