"The Truly Versatile and Quality Dual Purpose Breed"
Society Of Border Leicester Sheep Breeders Description
The Border Leicester is the largest indigenous breed in the British Isles and the purebred is popular with adults and children alike as a show animal due to its attractive characteristics and elegant presence.
As a pedigree animal the Border Leicester lends itself to all farming systems, whether commercially producing large quantities of halfbred females or for those wishing to produce their own replacements and butchers lambs from a small flock. This versatility allows farming systems of all sizes to market a quality product, whether marketing breeding stock for the commercial farmer or producing quality meat for niche markets and the butchers trade.

I have a query from the Lincolnshire area for pedigree ewes that would be of good quality to show in the future? Do you have a few cracking ewes with lambs at foot or gimmers that you would be willing to part with in the future? Please either PM or email secretary@borderleicesters.co.uk Many thanks Bron
