Exmoor Horn
Exmoor horn sheep are a native hill breed from Exmoor and nearby parts of Devon and Somerset. They are white-faced, horned sheep with pale horns, a dense white fleece, and the hardiness expected of animals developed on wet, windy moorland over many generations.
Farmers value Exmoor Horn ewes for mothering, milk, and the ability to rear lambs on high ground, while rams can be used in crossing systems for robust lambs. The breed also has a landscape role, grazing moorland and rough pasture in ways that support traditional farm management and regional breed conservation. On Exmoor itself, keeping the breed also keeps a recognizable part of the moorland farming system, including crosses used for local Mule ewes.
