For nearly two centuries, English Leicester sheep have quietly played a vital role in shaping Australia's sheep industry. In this richly detailed history, a lifelong breeder, whose family has been involved with the breed since 1871, takes readers on a journey through the breed's Australian legacy. From their first documented arrival in 1825 to their essential role in improving Merino flocks, English Leicesters have left an indelible mark on the country's agricultural landscape.

This book blends personal stories and historical research, offering a unique perspective on the breed's rise and eventual decline. Despite its reduced numbers, the English Leicester remains a treasured heritage breed, and its story is one of resilience, adaptability and preservation. With deep roots in both personal and national history, this work honours the breed's invaluable genetic contributions and celebrates the passionate individuals who have safeguarded it for future generations.
