The ABLA was founded in 1973 to promote and register Border Leicester sheep in the United States and Canada. Our association is experiencing some exciting growth, both in membership and numbers of sheep registered.
We invite you to join us! Any resident of the U.S. or Canada who owns or is interested in Border Leicesters may become a member of the American Border Leicester Association by application and payment of an annual membership fee. Print out a Membership Application.

We hope that both members and those just looking into Border Leicester sheep will find this website to be useful.
