Cheviot breed has been produced by selection rather than by crossing.
It is therefore a pure breed - one of a very few in this country. The modern American Cheviot is primarily a mutton sheep. |

The Brecknock Hill Cheviot has developed from the Scottish Cheviot that was introducted into Brecknockshire during the latter part of the 19th Century. This new strain of Cheviot thrives on exposed hills because of it’s hardiness. |
