Gathered in a dusty hall back in 1896, a group of Border Leicester enthusiasts met for the inaugural meeting of the Border Leicester Sheep Society. Some 125 years on, and a large number of pedigree and commercial breeders are continuing to reap the benefits of this versatile, dual purpose breed. The Society’s first flock book was created in 1898 to record, in alphabetical order, breeders from across the country. Assigned flock No 81, the Deuchrie flock has a long and proud history with the Border Leicester Society and is the oldest flock recorded. Sadly, it is the only one still in existence that appeared in the original flock book.
