The Bluefaced Leicester is of the English Longwool type and originated near Hexham in the county of Northumberland,
England during the early 1900's. The breed was originally developed to use in the production of high quality crossbred ewes.
They originated from Border Leicester individuals selected for the blue face (white hairs on black skin) and finer fleeces.
