In this section you can download the annual Southdown Sheep Society flock books. These are in PDF format so you can read them online or print the pages as required. We hope the books may be helpful for International Southdown breeders who may be looking to check pedigrees as a background to ram, ewe or semen purchases or to enable them to contact NZ breeders.
