About Hampshire Down Sheep
The Hampshire Down or Hampshire is a British breed of sheep that originated in about 1829 from cross-breeding of Southdowns with the Old Hampshire breed, the Wiltshire Horn, and the Berkshire Nott, all horned, white-faced sheep. These were native to the open, untilled, hilly stretch of land known as the Hampshire Downs.

Our Unique Meat Sheep
While we were purchasing the Hampshire Down Stud, findings came out that this heritage breed showed similar marbling facets to Wagyu Beef, showing strong signs in regards to intramuscular fats (marbling). It's early days with these findings, but we are certainly excited about the potential.
