They are medium-sized animals with distinctive curved horns and a thick, weather-resistant fleece that can be either white or off-white in color. Exmoor Horns are known for their ability to graze on rough terrain and their resistance to diseases and parasites, making them well-suited to upland grazing systems. They are also known for their excellent maternal instincts and high fertility rates. The meat from Exmoor Horn sheep is known for its flavor and quality and is often used for local lamb and mutton production. Exmoor Horns are considered a rare breed and are valued for their conservation and genetic diversity. They are often used in conservation grazing programs to manage and maintain biodiversity in upland habitats. Additionally, their fleeces are utilized for spinning and felting, and they are occasionally shown in sheep shows and events to promote their conservation and cultural heritage.
