What is the Largest Sheep Breed in the World?

If you've ever wondered what the biggest sheep breed is you're not alone, and while many meat sheep breeds grow to an impressive height, length and weight, the Suffolk is considered to be the largest sheep breed in the world. Though you may see some large Hampshire or Columbia rams which give the Suffolk a run for its money as the largest breed of sheep, on average Suffolk sheep still come out on top in terms of size and weight - one of the reasons this massive breed is valued as a terminal sire ... producing large-framed, fast-gaining lambs in commercial crossbred flocks.
