Littledale North Country Cheviot Page

The North Country Cheviot ram imparts quality when crossed with almost any other breed and produces lambs of good conformation and finish at all weights without becoming over fat.  Used on hill breeds such as Scottish Blackface the North Country Cheviot leaves hardy and vigorous lambs.
. . .
The North Country Cheviot is at home in virtually all grazing situations.
. . .
Large numbers of sheep were driven north to the vast tracts of hill land depopulated after the Highland Clearances.  The sheep thrived, and due to the high price of wool, some Merino blood was introduced.  A side effect of the Merino cross is that the ears of North Country Cheviot are carried much lower than those of the South Country or Border Cheviot sheep.

Attonburn - North Country Cheviots

The decision was made to change one hill of South Country Cheviots to a hill of Lairg type Northies.

The following year we purchased ewes and ewe lambs from Ribigill and this was the formation of the Percy Law hirsel.

At Lairg 2004 we purchased, in conjunction with Woodside, The Crofter from Strathcanaird for �8,000, a new record price for a hill North Country Cheviot.
