Purebred Vs Commercial Vs Stud: Is there a difference for Wiltshire Horns?

Why Wiltshire Horns?

Wiltshire horns are a very old breed known for their hardiness and quality meat production with ewes generally producing twins and being excellent mothers.

Being a shedding breed they do not need shearing, mulesing, crutching and are not prone to flystrike. Traditionally they have kept their tails.
