The detail
Suffolks come from England and are a large, fast-growing meat breed with a black face and legs. In the US they are the classic terminal sire for market lambs and show wethers, used across most commercial flocks.
What to weigh
Suffolks need more feed than smaller breeds, and ewes can have lambing trouble. Show lines can carry spider lamb syndrome, so ask about testing.
