WILTIPOLL

The Wiltipoll is a well-established sheep breed, having been developed about thirty years ago in Australia from Wiltshire Horn sheep being crossed with other polled breeds. It sheds its fleece annually, between Spring and Summer (ie generally after lambing), and its fleece is of no commercial value. Wiltipolls are bred for their excellent lean meat, for their easy care qualities, and for their excellent maternal traits. They are known for multiple births.

Wiltipolls thrive in a variety of conditions and areas, and provide a low maintenance option for breeders. They have a clean breech, so do not need crutching, are fly and lice resistant, and are easy to handle.
