Montadale绵羊是美国的家用绵羊。它是由E. H. Mattingly在1930年代开发的。E. H. Mattingly是中西部商业羊羔买家，他梦想着开发理想的绵羊。
He had been told that ‘the best starting for his goal would be to bring together the best characteristics of the big Western range sheep and the Midwestern mutton-type sheep. And he selected the Columbia and the Cheviotsheep breeds作为他项目的基础。
The Columbia is a large and big bodied sheep with heavy and good quality fleeces, and it was developed in the early 1900s in Wyoming and Idaho. While the Cheviot is a small breed developed in Scotland, and it is a hardy breed also.
The Cheviot is known for it’s correctness, muscling and style. The first cross of Cheviot ewes and Columbia rams proved to Mattingly that his project was on track. But he also crossed Columbia ewes with Cheviot rams.
And that cross was even more successful, and was chosen as the foundation for the new breed ‘Montadale sheep’.
该品种是美国存在的最年轻的绵羊品种之一。它是在全国各地的比赛中展出的，并迅速吸引了进步的绵羊生产商的注意。
The breed was first imported to Canada in 1960. The Montadale Sheep Breeders Association was founded in 1945 with five charter member.
如今，该品种被饲养为双重动物，并用于肉类和羊毛生产。在下面阅读有关Montadale绵羊的更多信息。
