Babydoll Sheep


Southwestern Washington Babydoll Sheep Breeder

We raise Old English Southdown Babydoll Sheep on two acres of pasture on our property in the hills of Washougal, WA. We raise them as farm pets for their luxurious wool and for pasture management. We are dedicated to spreading the word about this adorable sheep breed and helping people get their own flocks started!

Starting a new flock of sheep can be an exciting venture, and selecting the right breed is crucial for success. Babydoll sheep, with their compact size, gentle disposition, and unique appearance, stand out as an excellent choice for beginner shepherds. Their diminutive stature makes them easier to handle and manage, especially for those with limited space or less experience with livestock. Additionally, their friendly nature makes them ideal for small-scale farming or as pets, as they are docile and easily handled, even by children.

One of the most appealing aspects of babydoll sheep is their distinctive appearance. Their stocky build, short legs, and adorable, teddy bear-like faces make them irresistible to many. This unique appearance not only adds charm to a flock but also makes them easy to distinguish from other breeds. Their wool is prized by crafters for its softness and versatility, adding another dimension to their value beyond just meat or fiber production. Whether kept for hobby farming or as part of a larger agricultural operation, babydoll sheep are sure to capture attention and admiration.

Moreover, babydoll sheep are known for their hardiness and adaptability to various climates and environments. Their compact size allows them to thrive in smaller pastures or on marginal land where larger breeds may struggle. With proper care and management, they can efficiently utilize available resources, making them a sustainable choice for eco-conscious farmers. Additionally, their low maintenance requirements make them an attractive option for those with limited time or resources to devote to intensive sheep farming. Overall, babydoll sheep offer a perfect blend of charm, practicality, and versatility, making them an ideal choice for anyone looking to start a new sheep flock.
