Tansy
In the Autumn 2009 issue of Southdown News we made
mention of the silent movie Tansy to be screened on April 24th
2010. This 1921 film is set on the South Downs and follows the story of a
shepherd girl. The event has been postponed and will be re-scheduled at a later
date. Revised details will be included in the newsletter and on the website in
due course.
THE SOUTHDOWN
SHEEP
OUTSTANDING QUALITIES
Its greatest quality is to pass on its superb conformation to its offspring
The ability to thrive and maintain its flesh when many other breeds would
starve
The inherited tolerance to close confinement in fold or shed, it being docile
and easy to handle. Ideal sheep for small or large flocks.
