Yes, they are. It's actually a common misconception, seeing as they have two distinct names. However, they are indeed the same breed.
I hope this clears this up.

Yes. There are several breeds of both sheep and goats that are considered miniature. You can get a lot of information from the Miniature and Novelty Sheep Breeders Association and Registry or the National Miniature Goat Association.
Southdown sheep originated in Sussex, England, in the 18th century. They are a heritage breed known for their high-quality meat and wool.
Well, in the world of sheep, no civil rights activists have surfaced. Until a certain sheep decides to do something about the way they're treated, black and white sheep will be segregated for eternity.
Suffolk sheep originated in the county of Suffolk in eastern England. They were developed through selective breeding of local Norfolk Horned and Southdown sheep in the early 19th century to produce a breed that excelled in meat production. Today, Suffolks are known for their rapid growth rate and high-quality meat.

There are so many facts about Hampshire sheep. This is a large breed of sheep that got its name from the Hampshire county in England. It is a cross breed of Cotswold's, Southdown's and other breeds.
I do not classify them as a meat breed. I would much sooner have texel or southdown. Bucthers look for well conditioned loins and leg of lamb. It's pointless to feed a suffolk for market, because all your feed is going toward the portion of the leg that isn't eaten. (the black part closer to the hoof) Go to the RAWF (royal winter agricultural fair) and go to Market Lamb Sale and compare pictures of a southdown to a suffolk. Much more meat on a southdown.

Give each sheep you want to breed wheat.
One of the most highly regarded wool sheep is the merino. Other breeds prized for their soft wool are the baby doll and shetland. The southdown and corrindale are also used.
Artificial selection. They select the sheep with the best qualities for meat production and breed him/her to other sheep with similar qualities and characteristics.
