The Oxford Down breed originated in the 1830's when Cotswold rams were crossed with the Hampshire Down & Southdown Ewes. The breed stabilised over the 1880's and as many of the early flocks were centered around Oxfordshire the breed was named the Oxford Down.

The Oxford Down is well covered with wool of close texture, good length and of fine quality. They have a 'top-knot' and produce firm, lean mutton of excellent quality.

Our animals are reared in a natural way living stress free lives with the freedom to roam on large areas of pasture.

Feeding on good Devon grass, locally produced fruit and vegetables, they bed down on locally sourced straw.
