Cotswold sheep are a breed of domestic sheep originating in the Cotswold hills of the southern midlands of
England. It is a dual-use breed providing both meat and wool. As of 2009, this long-wooled breed is relatively rare, and is
categorized as "minority" by the Rare Breeds Survival Trust of the U.K.

Cotswold rams will mature at about 280 pounds and ewes at about 225 pounds. The ewes are excellent mothers.
They have a beautiful fleece often called "poor man's mohair" that lies on the body in distinct, bold open locks.
The fiber is highly lustrous with a Bradford count in the 40's. This breed is very adaptable to different environments.
They are known as the gentle giants because of their great dispositions. We raise black and white cotswolds.
