The Border Leicester U.R.B.A. goes back in Northern Ireland over a 100 years. The breed was traditionally used on the Blackface ewe to produce quality greyface lambs. Customers for the Border Leicester ram are now realising that they can do a top quality job on any other type of ewe making them the truly versatile and quality dual purpose breed.
