About Norfolk Horn SheepAbout Norfolk Horn Sheep



Norfolk Horn sheep, hailing from the Norfolk, Suffolk, and Cambridge regions of England, are among the ancient Heath breeds that are experiencing a resurgence in small populations. Historically, Norfolk Horn sheep played a significant role in the development of other breeds, including the renowned Suffolk sheep, alongside Southdown sheep.

These medium-sized sheep are characterized by their long body and legs, which contribute to their robust build and overall sturdiness. Their distinctive appearance includes a face and legs that are black or dark brown, completely devoid of wool. The fleece of Norfolk Horn sheep is typically white, although newborn lambs may display a mottled appearance initially.

Both male and female Norfolk Horn sheep are horned, with the horns exhibiting an open spiral pattern. This unique horn structure adds to their individuality and contributes to their historical charm.

Despite their small numbers, Norfolk Horn sheep are valued for their resilience, traditional characteristics, and historical significance, making them an important breed within the context of heritage conservation and breed preservation efforts.
