They derive their name from the Cotswoid Hills, a range from iioo to 1200 feet above the level of the sea, and run- ning through the eastern side of Gloucestershire, England. They are one of the oldest breeds in England. The Cots- wold sheep are kept in Gloucestershire, Oxfordshire, Herefordshire, etc. They are a very large, hardy race, specially adapted to cold and exposed situations, and to rough pastures.
