Coopworth Genetics New Zealand Inc


The Coopworth breed had its origins in the 1950's and 1060's in the crossing of the Romney ewe with the Border Leicester ram to produce the F1 Border-Romney and the subsequent inter-breeding of them to give F2 and F3 generation progeny. 
These were then eligible to be known and registered as Coopworths.
