Avondale Sheep
Avondale Sheep is a land-raced domestic sheep breed that was started in 2006 by Jeff Rogers near the road named Avondale in Redmond, Washington, USA. Avondales where created to have excellent feet, parasite resistance and resilience in a 24/7 outdoor model in a high rainfall area (60+" / 152 cm) on grass and forage alone. They are a composite breed, made up of Clun Forest, Blue Faced Leicester, Texel and Suffolk. The Texel and Suffolk components of the breed are 50% UK genetics and 50% New Zealand genetics.

The name Avondale was pinned one day by Anthony Pierce a shearer and Shepard who helped Mr. Rogers with shearing and as needed around the nucleolus flock. Mr. Rogers immediately thought that was a fantastic name for the new name of the composite sheep he created over the prior 17 years. Sheepdogtrail (talk) 05:25, 21 July 2023 (UTC)
