Exmoor Horn
The Exmoor Horn is a resilient and adaptable breed of sheep native to the rough terrains of the Exmoor region in southwest England. Characterized by its distinctive white fleece and robust constitution, the Exmoor Horn is well-suited to thrive in challenging weather conditions and rugged landscapes. This breed is distinguished by its unique, curled horns, found in both rams and ewes, which add to its hardy visage. Exmoor Horns are known for their excellent mothering abilities and high fertility rates, making them a reliable choice for farmers. Traditionally valued for both meat and wool production, their fleece is dense and provides excellent insulation. The wool is popular in textiles for its durability and warmth. The breed plays a significant role in maintaining the ecological balance of its native heathland, grazing on grasses that might otherwise overrun the landscape. Known for their longevity and vigorous health, Exmoor Horns are a testament to the rich agricultural heritage of the Exmoor area, continuing to be a vital component of sustainable sheep farming.
