The qualities of Wiltshire Horn sheep

• Wool shedding – no shearing necessary
• Minimal handling needed – fly strike is rare as the sheep have no wool growing in the typical fly-strike prone areas that affect other sheep.
• Natural lean meat producers
• The ewes are good mothers and often give birth to twins and occasionally triplets
• They are adaptable to many types of conditions and environments and are good “do-ers” even in poor conditions
• The ewes are seasonal breeders cycling annually in the autumn for spring lambing
• Lambs are fast growing and maturing
• Ancient breed of sheep originating in England from early Roman lineage
• Wiltshire Horn sheep are making a comeback after near extinction as they fit in well with the busy lifestyle of breeders and the market demand for lean meat in these times of healthy eating awareness.
