Hu sheep, formerly known as Hu sheep, originated from Mongolian sheep in the north, with a history of 1000 years. According to historical records, the Southern Song Dynasty moved its capital to Lin 'an, and a large number of residents in the Yellow River valley moved south. At the same time, they brought the "big white sheep" raised in Hebei, Shandong and Henan to the south of the Yangtze River, mainly concentrated in the Taihu Lake basin at the junction of Jiangsu and Zhejiang.
According to the records of Tan Zhi in Song Dynasty, Hu sheep were mainly distributed in Anji and Changxing counties in northwest Zhejiang, and then gradually moved from mountainous areas to plains, from grazing to house feeding. After long-term domestication and breeding, Hu sheep breeds gradually formed. Since 2 1 century, the consumption demand of mutton has been increasing, the price has been rising, the large-scale, ecological and standardized breeding has been developing, and Huzhou Huyang industry has developed rapidly.
