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. Cheers, Dr. Semm
Hampshire sheep originated in the Hampshire region of England. They were developed in the 19th century from a cross between the native Southdown breed and other long-wool breeds, such as the Norfolk Horn. Known for their distinctive dark faces and legs, Hampshire sheep are primarily raised for their meat and are recognized for their rapid growth and high-quality carcass.
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.
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.

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.
