Current Status of the Old Norfolk Breed
The Old Norfolk breed, also known as the Norfolk Horn, is an ancient breed of sheep that has had a significant impact on the development of modern sheep breeds.
1. **Breeding and Distribution:** The Norfolk Horn is primarily found in the UK, with a focus on conservation efforts to maintain its genetic heritage. It is known for its hardiness and ability to thrive in the challenging conditions of East Anglia's heaths and grasslands.
2. **Economic Importance:** The Norfolk Horn was historically valued for its meat and wool. Its resilient nature made it suitable for extensive farming systems, and it has contributed to the development of several other breeds, including the Suffolk sheep.
3. **Conservation and Popularity:** The breed faced decline in the 20th century but has since seen revival efforts. Organizations such as the Rare Breeds Survival Trust have played a key role in preserving the Norfolk Horn. Today, the breed is maintained by enthusiasts and conservationists, ensuring its continued presence and contribution to genetic diversity.
