Isle of Man or Isle of lamb?

There are more sheep than people on the Isle of Man.

That's according to the Department of Environment, Food and Agriculture who have revealed there are 116,000 sheep on Island.

It outnumbers the Island's population, which is thought to be around 85,000.

DEFA says this includes more than 20 different breeds ranging from Scottish blackface (the sheep you see on the mountain) to the more exotic Zwartbles without forgetting the indigenous Manx Loaghtan.
