Wiltshire Horn
The Wiltshire Horn is an ancient British breed from the Chalk Downs region of England. Reaching large numbers during the 17th and 18th centuries, they became almost extinct by the beginning of the 20th. They are currently attracting attention for their lack of wool and the need for shearing, as well as their ability to pass on their vitality and quality meat in a cross-breeding program.
Both rams and ewes are horned. The Wiltshire Horn is classified as a "rare" breed by the American Livestock Breeds Conservancy.
