Descripción: La raza de ovejas de Shropshire se originó en las colinas de Shropshire, y en el norte de Staffordshire, Inglaterra, durante la década de 1840. Los criadores de la zona utilizaron las ovejas locales con cuernos de cara negra y las cruzaron con algunas razas de ovejas de cara blanca (Southdown, Cotswold y Leicester). Esto produjo una oveja sin cuernos de tamaño mediano que producía buena lana y carne.
The breed's adaptability to most environments and their dual-purpose nature led to them quickly becoming a popular breed. Today's modern Shropshire isone of the most numerous breeds of sheep (especially in the mid-west). Its gentle nature and medium size makes it very popular with 4H exhibitors. The mature weights for Shropshire rams is between 225 to 250 pounds and between 150 to 180 pounds for the females. |
