The English Leicester Association
of Australia Inc.

The English Leicester is a sound, black footed sheep, suitable to most districts of Australia - flat, hilly, or more especially, marginal country.

English Leicesters are large framed longwool sheep, with a wide level topline, strong constitution and good temperament. Rams make a superior crossing sire with fine wool ewe to produce prime lamb mothers, inheriting the desirable qualities of the English Leicester breed - large frame body, strong constitution, milking ability and high lambing average. The lambs grow out well to good marketable prime lambs.

The English Leicester is classified as a dual purpose sheep, being prized in both the wool and meat markets.
