Etymology
The word 'Cheviot' is derived from the Old English word 'ceaf,' which refers to a hill or a ridge, and is closely associated with the Cheviot Hills, a range of hills located on the border between England and Scotland. The history of the Cheviot sheep dates back several centuries, being recognized for their hardiness in rough terrains and variable climates. The Cheviot breed is particularly linked to the local grazing lands and traditional farming practices in the region. Over the years, the breed has been developed for both meat and wool production, leading to its popularity among farmers in the UK and beyond. The word has evolved from its geographic roots to encompass the characteristics and qualities associated with the breed itself.
