Southdown Sheep Breeders Societies and Associations

The Southdown Sheep Society

The Southdown bred pure will produce a fast growing prime lamb in record time. Crossed on any breed of ewe the resulting lamb will have a carcass of fine conformation and high grade if marketed correctly. Southdowns excel if mated to ewe lambs of any breed in a slightly smaller active lamb demanding less from its dam.
