Dorset Down
The Dorset Down is a breed of sheep native to the Dorset Downs region of England. It originated in the early 19th century from crosses of local and Hampshire ewes with Southdown rams.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Sheep Breeds D-F )〕 The breed is not closely related to the Dorset (aka Dorset Horned), which is a white-faced sheep. Dorset Downs are medium-sized, robust sheep with dark faces and short wool.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title= Dorset Down )〕 Prior to the importation of Continental breeds like the Texel, the Dorset Down was a popular terminal sire breed in the United Kingdom. Today it is listed as a minority breed by the Rare Breeds Survival Trust.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Dorset Down )〕 It was also exported to North and South America, New Zealand and Australia, but remains fairly rare in those countries as well.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Dorset Down )〕 ==References==
