Hello from a newcomer in Sussex.

I have a Field and derelict barn and barnyard for use next to my house so have decided to expand my activities.

I have a few chickens free ranging, yet am after a small, three, flock of sheep.

I need them to be the smallest variety possible, to breed for meat and fun. I do like the look of the south downs, yet are there any smaller ?

Look forward to participating here.

Hello and welcome from a soggy Powys 


We keep a little flock of Soay sheep. A small primitive breed. Have a look at the Soay Society website for information. They are slow to mature and tiny so not a good commercial sheep but they are fun to keep and should be ready for the butcher from 16 months of age (or so I am told ...... not got that far yet).


We also keep too many chickens and quail. 


Good luck with your venture.

Hello and welcome from north Cumbria 

I think Soays would be our smallest native breed.  Pretty little, elegant sheep.  (I am biased, I keep Castlemilk Moorits, which look similar to Soays - same markings - but are a little bit bigger.) 

Going overseas, Ouissants are very very small - someone will be along to sing their praises soon, no doubt

Hi from Wet and Windy Worcestershire.   
 
I had a flock of Black Welsh Mountain for many years, and found them very easy and trouble free, plus delicious
