Babydoll Southdown Rams For Sale | Friendly Proven Breeding Pair

Babydoll Southdown Rams for Sale

Looking for Babydoll sheep for sale or a friendly pair of Babydoll Southdown rams to add to your flock? We are offering our two proven rams, Ross and Chandler, to a new home as we downsize our flock.

At four years old, Ross and Chandler are healthy, experienced, and exceptionally gentle. They have grown up together and are best friends, so we would love to see them stay together if possible. They are easily our family’s two favorite sheep and have been wonderful ambassadors for the Babydoll breed.

Meet Ross & Chandler

Ross and Chandler are incredibly friendly and enjoy spending time with people. They come running when they see us, happily accept ear scratches, and genuinely seek out human attention. Their calm temperaments make them a pleasure to work with and a great fit for hobby farms, homesteads, and families looking for livestock with personality.

Proven Babydoll Southdown Sires

Although Ross and Chandler are not registered, they have both proven themselves as excellent breeding rams.

When we purchased them as lambs from a farm in Kennewick, Washington, we believed they had been wethered. It wasn’t until they reached maturity that we discovered they had retained their reproductive capabilities due to incomplete castration. Two breeding seasons later, they have sired multiple healthy, vigorous lambs that have grown into strong, thriving sheep with excellent dispositions.

If producing registered offspring is not a priority, these boys offer an outstanding opportunity to add quality genetics and exceptional temperaments to your flock at an affordable price.

Ideal For

Ross and Chandler would be an excellent choice for:

  • Starting a Babydoll Southdown flock
  • Expanding an existing flock with proven breeding rams
  • Farms that already keep wethers and want to begin breeding
  • Homesteads looking for friendly, easy-to-handle livestock
  • Breeding programs where registration is not essential

Because they have lived together their entire lives, we believe they would be happiest remaining as a pair.

Why Raise Babydoll Southdown Sheep?

Babydoll Southdown sheep are one of the most sought-after heritage sheep breeds thanks to their compact size, gentle personalities, and practical value. They make wonderful pasture managers by naturally controlling grass and weeds while producing nutrient-rich manure that benefits compost piles, gardens, orchards, and the overall farm ecosystem. Their friendly nature also makes them favorites for families, hobby farms, and anyone looking for livestock that’s enjoyable to work with.

Pricing

  • $300 each
  • $500 for the pair

We are genuinely sad to see Ross and Chandler go, but as we downsize our flock, we hope they’ll find a farm where they can continue doing what they do best—bringing personality, quality genetics, and plenty of smiles to their new owners.

Interested? Contact us to schedule a farm visit and meet Ross and Chandler in person. We’d love to introduce you to these special boys and help you decide if they’re the right fit for your flock.

Welcome to Delgado Homestead

Family Owned and Operated Since 2019

We are the Delgado family.

Thank you for taking part in our journey.

It’s been quite the adventure going from Southern California city dwellers to full blown homesteaders in the woods of Washougal, WA. The road to self-sufficiency has been amazing so far! We built tons of infrastructure and established an enormous garden. We’ve learned a lot, and we have big goals for the future of the farm. To read a little more about our story, check out our About page.

Why mushrooms, chicken and sheep?

Early on in the journey, we focused on three areas of farming for the community: culinary mushrooms, pastured chicken and Babydoll sheep.


Mushrooms Are Magic

We love mushrooms! We truly believe in their power and potential for improving health of the mind, body and land. Also, they’re delicious!

Pastured Chicken is So Good

Locally raised pastured chicken is the best and tastes amazing. We’ve been having fun raising our own meat birds over the past two years. We’ve scaled up production for sale in the community, and we’re really excited about it!

Babydoll Sheep are the Cutest Ever

We fell in love with Babydoll Sheep. Their cute smiles, cotton ball features and luxurious wool are just a few reasons why we are crazy about them. We are dedicated to spreading the word about this adorable wool breed and help people get their own flocks started.

One of our favorite ways to prepare pastured chicken is roasted whole with lemon, garlic and herbs on top of carrots and onions.

How do I buy these fabulous mushrooms and chickens?

We sell fresh mushrooms for farm or in-town pick-up when mushrooms are in season. We cultivate mushrooms outdoors in a forest setting, so most mushrooms fruit on Mother Nature’s schedule usually 3-4 times per year. Subscribers to the Delgado Homestead Newsletter get first dibs on presale and updates on Mushroom Pop-up dates. Online ordering is available when mushrooms are in stock. Learn more about our process and browse our varieties here. Wholesale prices are available for restaurants and markets.

We raise pastured chicken in small batches of 60 or less, three times a year. Whole chicken is available for purchase for farm or in-town pick-up only. Subscribers to the Delgado Homestead Newsletter get first dibs on presale and updates on Chicken Pop-up dates. Online ordering is available when chickens are in stock. Learn more about our process here.

How do I get on the list to purchase lambs?

If you are looking to start a flock of your own or looking to add to an existing flock, send us a message for more info and to get on our Babydoll lamb reservation list.

What’s in store for the Blog?

We plan to post some of our favorite homestead recipes that transform our gourmet mushrooms and pastured chicken into healthy, delicious meals so stay tuned!

We can’t get enough of our sheep, especially during lambing time, so expect plenty of cute sheep content in addition to behind-the-scenes stories of the homesteading life.

We’ll also be posting How-to’s on growing your own mushrooms as well as news, science and musings from the incredible world of mushrooms.
