Wiltshire Horn sheep have been established to compliment the grazing habits of the Galloway cattle.
Wiltshire Horn sheep are large sheep with pronounced horns - swept back in ewes and large distinctive curled horns in rams.
Wiltshires are a fleeceless sheep with a tight coat and they pass their wool shedding characteristics to first cross offspring, making them a useful element to cross breeding and much less prone to heat stress and fly strike.
A traditional breed that had continued in regional strongholds in Anglesey and Northamptonshire, the breed has made a significant comeback now that farmers and awarding bodies are recognising the benefits associated with less handling, no shearing and lamb and meat with flavour and true provenance.
Breeding stock and boxed lamb will be available for sale seasonally and mutton at a later date
