I googled "Downs breed" sheep and found the term used mostly in AU
and NZ sites.

Where Downs is the opposite of Ups (aka ours) Yep, I googled too
with similar results. Google is a compilation of strings of
characters and their contexts and links. It does that very well - no
more nor less.
It's a horse race like so many things. I always thought down was
from geese and ducks, until it came fro rabbits and then dogs and
then whatever. At this point it is a marketing term.
So many words, so many meanings...... :-?
I still say Downs is referring to one of many lower altitude areas
in UK - as apposed to the hill sheep regions
Have a great New Year's Eve all of you.
