[QUOTE="Agrivator, post: 6500413, member: 461"] Hill Cheviots refer more to North Country Cheviots. They were developed mainly in Sutherland from the smaller South Country Cheviots (Southies) from the Border Hills. About 30 years ago, NCC tups (or Northies) were brought down to the Borders from the Lairg sales, and much to the dismay of many traditionalists, were put over Southies. It was regarded as sacrilege, but it is now difficult to find a flock of Southies which hasn't had an infusion of Northies. To add to the confusion, there is another ''Lockerbie'' type of Southie, with horned rams. These, along with traditional Southies and Lairg-type Northies are also sold at the Lockerbie sales.
