Why Wiltshire Horns?
Wiltshire horns are a very old breed known for their hardiness and quality meat production with ewes generally producing twins and being excellent mothers.
Being a shedding breed they do not need shearing, mulesing, crutching and are not prone to flystrike.
Traditionally they have kept their tails.
