American Cotswold Record Association |
|||||||||||||
Since 1878, the American Cotswold Record Association (ACRA) has been America's official registry and certifier of Cotswold sheep, protecting consumers and producers of pure pedigreed Cotswolds--the easy-keeping "gentle white giants" of the sheep world. |

| One of the first literary descriptions of the Cotswold appeared 400 years ago in Michael Drayton's Polyolbion and by 1546 the sheep were already known as 'Cotswold Lions'. | ||||||||||||||||

Cotswold Breeders Association |
||||||||||||||
Cotswolds played a great part in early American farming history even though today they are rare. They were first introduced by Christopher Dunn into New York, near Albany in 1832. By 1879 this was the most popular breed in America. By 1914 over 760,000 were recorded and it was still a very popular breed in the West until Merinos were introduced from Australia. |
