OUR NAME MAY BE COMMON

But our breeding stock is not!

Southdowns

Although we have dispersed our Southdown flock much of what we learned in the purebred livestock business came from decades of breeding national champion purebred sheep. The art of meticulous herd management, knowing how to feed, fit and show came from over 30 years of competing and judging sheep. All that transitioned to what has enabled us to become one of the very top llama breeding farms in the US.
