Madras Red Sheep Kid

The Madras Red Sheep Kid is a well-known breed from Tamil Nadu, prized for its adaptability, moderate frame, and excellent meat quality. These sheep are ideal for farmers in semi-arid regions and are well-suited to both open grazing and semi-intensive systems. The breed is known for its early maturity, fast weight gain, and resistance to local diseases.

At Shazam Farms, our Madras Red sheep kids are raised under hygienic conditions with access to high-quality natural fodder and deworming protocols. These kids are ideal for farmers looking for hardy, low-maintenance sheep with good commercial value.
