Each sheep is raised with care, attention, and a lot of love, ensuring they are well-socialized and ready to thrive in their new homes.

Features
The need to knows.
01
Care
Babydoll sheep are easy to care for, needing hay, grass, and minerals year-round, but be cautious of copper in feed as it's toxic to them. While they tend to gain weight easily, grain can be used for socialization and breeding. They're hardy in Canadian winters but require three-sided shelter. Shearing annually in spring and regular hoof trimming are important. Vaccinations and deworming should be done yearly, with vet guidance for specific needs.
03
The breed
Olde English Southdown Babydolls are a rare breed of heritage sheep. Defining characteristics are their wooly teddy bear faces, upturned smiling mouth, and their small size.
Babydolls make the perfect addition to any farm or acreage. Their small size and extremely docile nature make them easy to handle. Many are used for weed control or to keep grass down in farmyards, orchards, and vineyards. Their wool is considered cashmere grade. But most of all, they bring so much joy to everyone they meet.
