The name Soay is of Nordic origin and means "Sheep Island" (Old Norse Seyðoy, modern Icelandic Sauðey).

Wild sheep with island Soay in the St. Kilda archipelago off the Scottish west coast.

Carefree (no shearing, no hooves cut) and low feed requirements (meadow in summer, hay, straw in winter).

The soays are particularly winter hard and can be wild. They are particularly useful for the ecosystem because they are very agile and safe-footed. They graze in places where domesticated sheep can not graze.

The Soay sheep is one of the northern European shorthorn sheeps.

Physically similar to the wild Mediterranean Mufflon and the horned Urial sheep of Central Asia. It is much smaller than the modern domesticated sheep, but harder, and is exceedingly manoeuvrable and tends to take refuge under the cliffs when it is frightened.

The animals are reared in both sexes. Soays can be black, gray or brown. Possibly. Soays have white markings on the face.

The meat from the Soay is lean, tender and has little cholesterol. It is a delicacy among the Schafrassen.

Soay are held at the Butser Ancient Farm in Hampshire. In Germany there is a herd of Soay sheep in the Wildpark of Saarbrücken, as well as one in the Lindenthal Zoo in Cologne. The livestock ark of the adventure museum Adventon in Osterburken holds two herds, one of them in the outdoor area, the other for visitors. The Animal Park Ark in Warder, which specializes in the preservation of old and threatened animal breeds, also presents Soay sheep on the grounds of the Viking Museum Haithabu. In Austria you can see a small herd of Soay sheep in the Tyrolean Stone Age Museum in Umhausen during the summer season
