The British Texel Sheep Society is the UK’s largest pedigree
sheep society, based at Stoneleigh Park, home of the Royal
Agricultural Society’s Exhibition Centre near Warwick, in the
heart of England.
The Texel breed is famed for its exceptional carcass qualities,
which has made the Texel the dominant terminal sire breed in
the UK. In recent years the breed’s hardiness and adaptability
has been recognised by upland and hill producers who use the
Texel to their advantage by breeding store lambs and cross bred
females and these increasingly replace traditional hill breeds
with a more marketable product.
