Country of originUnited Kingdom

The Wiltshire Horn is a British breed of domestic sheep. It originates Wiltshire in southern England and is raised principally for meat. 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. They are good mothers and have high fertility.
