==Appearance== [[File:Manx Loaghtan Butser Ancient Farm.JPG|thumb|right|A Manx Loaghtan at [[Butser Ancient Farm]]]] The Manx Loaghtan is a small sheep, with no wool on their dark brown faces and legs. The sheep have short tails and are fine-boned. In the past century the sheep's colour has stabilised as "moorit", that is shades between fawn and dark reddish brown, though the colour bleaches in the sun.<ref name=RBST>RBST: The Manx Loaghtan,[https://www.rbst.org.uk/Rare-and-Native-Breeds/Sheep/Manx-Loaghtan] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170728120026/https://www.rbst.org.uk/Rare-and-Native-Breeds/Sheep/Manx-Loaghtan |date=28 July 2017 }} - accessed 28 July 2017.</ref> Manx Loaghtan usually have four horns, but individuals are also found with two or six horns.<ref>[http://www.ansi.okstate.edu/breeds/sheep/manxloaghtan Oklahoma State University, Department of Animal Science, Breeds of Livestock - Manx Loaghtan Sheep.]</ref> The horns are generally small on the ewes but larger and stronger on the males.
