History
The Border Leicester was developed in 1767 in Northumberland, England. Their name derives from the fact that their birthplace is near the border with Scotland, and their foundation stock were Dishley Leicester rams. The ewes used were either Teeswater or Cheviot, though which one exactly is often disputed. They were a fairly common breed in the U.K. by the 19th century.
