Southdown
The Southdown came to Australia from Sussex with the first European settlers. It is a polled, well muscled, short legged breed specialising in prime lamb production. It is used principally as a terminal sire over other breeds and their crosses to produce choice quality lambs. Its fertility is high, with a large proportion of multiple births.
The Southdown wool is a typically short Downs type. Small numbers of Southdowns are available from the southern regions of Australia.
