Southdown Sheep

Southdown Sheep are one of the oldest pure breeds of sheep in the world today. The breed originated in Sussex, England and was imported to the United States during the 19th century.

Southdown sheep

• Renowned for their ability to thrive and produce meaty, hardy lambs on grass and minimal grain
• Economical to raise, docile, easy to manage
• Require less space than many breeds making them ideal for farms with small acreage
• Friendly dispositions
• Excellent mothers, produce plenty of milk for at least 2 lambs, and generally kid well without assistance

At Oxford Kid and Lamb Farm we strive to produce exceptional Southdown Sheep

All of our breeding stock are registered with the American Southdown Breeder’s Association

Our flock won Grand Champion Southdown Flock at the 2006 Oakland County Fair and our herd sire ram affectionately called “Ramses” (Wieringa W405) was Grand Champion Ram Lamb at the 2004 Michigan State Fair and Grand Champion Southdown Ram at the 2006 Oakland County Fair

Our strict breeding program will ensure that our flock maintains the highest level of quality

“The best things in life are nearest: Breath in your nostrils, light in your eyes, flowers at your feet, duties at your hand, the path of right just before you. Do not grasp at the stars, but do life’s plain, common work as it comes, certain that daily duties and daily bread are the sweetest things in life.”
-Robert Louis Stevenson
