About South Suffolk SheepAbout South Suffolk Sheep



South Suffolk sheep are the result of a deliberate crossbreeding program between Suffolk and Southdown sheep. This fixed cross has produced a breed known for its large size and substantial meat production capabilities.

Rams of the South Suffolk breed are primarily used as terminal sires in crossbreeding programs aimed at early prime lamb production. These rams are sought after for their ability to impart desirable meat characteristics to their offspring.

Originally developed in New Zealand, South Suffolks can now be found in various states across Australia as well. Their adaptability and performance in different climates make them a popular choice among sheep farmers.

In addition to their meat-producing qualities, South Suffolk sheep also possess fine Downs-type wool, with a fiber diameter typically measuring between 24 to 26 microns. This wool quality, coupled with their high fertility levels, adds to the overall value of the breed in agricultural settings.
