About
Shropshires
Shropshires were first imported in 1855 into the United States and in 1884
the American Shropshire Registry was founded. During the period of 1880s to
the 1930s Shropshires were the most popular and influential breed in the
United States. There was even a period of time when this country had more
registered Shropshires than all other breeds combined. Over the last few
decades, Shropshires have evolved into a very modern and productive breed,
perfect for families with youth projects. Today the Shropshire
breed has continued to establish itself as a leader in the industry by
becoming the first black faced, slick sheared breed.
