Vembur Sheep Kid

The Vembur Sheep Kid is a heritage native breed from the Tiruchirappalli and Dindigul districts of Tamil Nadu, valued for its beautiful white coat with black facial markings, disease resistance, and good adaptability to dry, inland regions. Known for its decent meat yield and low maintenance requirements, the Vembur breed is often favored by traditional farmers and communities looking to preserve indigenous livestock genetics.

At Shazam Farms, our Vembur sheep kids are selected from healthy, pure-line parent stock. They are raised under semi-intensive systems with access to grazing, periodic health checks, and vaccination schedules. These kids are ideal for small to mid-scale farmers interested in hardy, native meat breeds that don’t require high feed inputs.
