The Danish Landrace (Danish language: dansk landfår, klitfår) is a breed of sheep endemic to Jutland in Denmark. The breed, which had a population of approximately 370 in 2000, is not a true landrace, but descend from Heath sheep and Merino, with early specimen interbreeding in the 19th century with Leicester and Oxford Down sheep.[1][2][3] While up to 10% of males have horns, the breed is mostly polled.[2]
