Wiltshire Horn

A Wiltshire Horn ewe and her triplets

The Wiltshire Horn is a breed of domestic sheep originally from Wiltshire in southern England raised for meat.[1] The breed is unusual among native British breeds, for it has the unusual feature of moulting its short wool and hair coat naturally in spring, obviating the need for shearing.[2] They are good mothers and have high fertility.
