Wiltipoll

These sheep must have at least 96.87% Wiltshire Horn genetics, completely shed their fleece annually, and be polled.

Wiltipoll sheep (polled Wiltshire Horn) shed their wool annually in spring to summer and produce lean, heavy lambs.

The breed is, therefore, very low maintenance as it has no need for shearing, crutching, mulesing, jetting, dipping, and docking of tails.

The Wiltipoll is grass seed-resistant and fly- and lice-resistant, reducing the need for chemicals or the painful practice of mulesing.

Wiltipolls ideally suit small acreage holders and also those farmers who can not continue with the workload associated with wool breeds.
