The Shropshire is one of the oldest of the British breeds and was imported to Australia in the 1860s. This dual-purpose sheep produces a high quality fleece and an excellent prime lamb carcase. The fleece has a fineness of 26 microns and a staple length of 100mm. The number of Shropshire sheep available for sale or export is limited.
