Welcome
Welcome to the official website of the Suffolk Sheep Society. Since 1886, the Society’s key aims are to protect the integrity of the breed, support our members and promote Suffolks as the leading domestic terminal sire. Our membership is now international with Suffolk flocks not only in the UK and Republic of Ireland, but also throughout Europe. We also have associate members in South Africa, New Zealand and Canada.

Society
The breed Society was established 135 years ago to primarily “advance and promote agriculture by improving the breed of suffolk sheep” and to “promote improvement of the breed of Suffolk sheep”. In essence, these noble aims remain the same and following its formation in Stowmarket on the 8th January 1886, the breed quickly spread throughout the UK and Ireland.
