Sunset sheep

I popped up to the top of Beeding Hill at sunset and found some attractive and obliging sheep who looked at me, stood still and smiled when asked politely. They even arranged themselves into a fairly pleasing composition. Splendid.

 

Are these Southdown sheep? Any sheep experts out there? They were quite small and chubby-looking with very round faces, as you can see.

 

Update: I'm told they're Dorset Down sheep, a cross between the Southdown and Hampshire breeds.
