Texel sheep hurdles with teddy bear jockeys & racing sheep; Soft going as the Texel sheep sheep races get underway at the Chipping, Lancashire, Agricultural Show. Bets were placed as Shear Delight, Cross Breed Charlie, Tasty Kebab, & Woolly Jumper, carrying toy teddies, as they leapt over various obstacles to complete the obstacle course and win a reward.


The Texel breed is a white-faced breed with no wool on the head or legs. ... The most outstanding characteristic of the Texel is its remarkable muscle development and leanness. Texel-sired lambs show an advantage of one full leg score in breed comparisons and less total carcass fat—especially seam fat.
