Norfolk Horn

The breed is described as "flighty" and is likened to goats in their ability to jump over obstacles such as fencing.

After Norfolk Horn ewes were mated to Southdown rams to produce high quality, meat-producing lambs.

[3] The number of the Norfolk Horn breed fell to one flock in 1919, but it was built up and survived due to the efforts of one man, J. D. Sayer.

After building up the flock, Sayer divided it and gave half to the Cambridge animal research university.

In 1986, the breed was recognised by the RBST, appearing on their Priority List at that time as "Category 1, Critical".
