Meet Our Flock

Our Babydoll Southdown Sheep

Teddy

Teddy is a spotted purebred Babydoll ram, though not registered. At just 19 inches tall, he’s compact and well-built, with a fuzzy face, small ears, and a calm, gentle nature. Even during breeding season, he’s never shown “rammy” behavior. His steady temperament and sound structure make him an ideal herd sire and a valued part of our flock.

Coco Puff

Coco Puff arrived with Adele from Tyto Farms. She’s a petite, round Babydoll—the kind we adore. Sweet and friendly, she’s already a family favorite. A registered spot carrier, we’re excited to see her future lambs with Sheldon once she’s mature.

Bailey

Bailey arrived with Lollie and Ellie. She experienced head trauma shortly after birth, which left her with a slight head tilt and partial blindness and deafness—but it doesn’t slow her down. Sweet and affectionate, she loves a full-body scratch. Bailey is not registered.

Sheldon

Apple Fox Farms Sheldon

Sheldon is a registered, heavily spotted Babydoll ram. He is friendly and resembles Teddy in the face, but he stands just a touch taller than Teddy. Bred by Apple Fox Farms in Connecticut—one of the most respected spotted Babydoll breeders—he’s a wonderful addition to our flock.

Adele

Adele is a registered, spotted Babydoll ewe. She’s gentle but a little cautious, much like Sheldon. Slightly taller than our other Babydolls, she may not join the vineyard crew—but paired with one of our smaller rams, her lambs just might.

Lollie

Lollie has the sweetest face and a personality to match. She’s gentle, curious, and a devoted mom. One of our most petite ewes, she’s perfectly suited for vineyard work. Lollie is registered.

Ellie

Ellie and Lollie are best friends and are often seen together. She lost an ear in a dog attack at her previous farm, but she doesn't seem to notice. Gentle, sweet, and a devoted mom, Ellie is also registered.

Dumpling

Dumpling is our newest Babydoll ewe. Petite with a very fuzzy face, she closely resembles Coco Puff. A little shy at first, she’s sure to become as friendly as the rest of the flock with some time and patience. Dumpling is not registered.

    Our Valais Blacknose Sheep

Elodie

Elodie was born on the farm and is a recorded F2—75% VBN. She is predominantly black (a “spitti”), but sun-bleached in this picture. She’s loving, goofy, and a wonderful mom. She’s our only horned sheep and a family favorite. Elodie is recorded with VBSS and DNA certified.

Juniper

Henry

Valais Blacknose Sheep

Henry is our only wether. He is 68.75% VBN and 100% adorable! He is the sweetest, goofiest boy and his ears are as big as his personality. He is very much a dog in sheep's clothing!

Jolie

Valais cross Romney Sheep

Jolie is new to the farm and arrived with her half-sister, Juniper. Their sire is an F3 (87.5% VBN) and their moms are Romneys. Though Romneys are a larger, longwool breed, Jolie and Juniper are surprisingly petite for their parentage. We're still learning her personality, but she seems to be calm and curious.

Juniper and Jolie are half sisters, sired by an 87.5% VBN ram. Their mothers are Romneys, which are naturally polled, so even though they don't have horns, they do have the genes for them from their father. It will be interesting to see if their lambs will have horns when bred to a VBN ram.

Both Juniper and Jolie will be recorded with AVBSR as  percentage ewes once their DNA certification is complete.

Our Finnsheep

Lulu

Finnsheep cross babydoll southdown

LuLu is from our first year of lambing, half Babydoll Southdown and half Finnsheep.
Friendly and affectionate, she’s a personal favorite. Her soft, dense wool and reliable motherhood—always with gorgeous twins—make her a standout in the flock.

Piper

Valais cross Finnsheep

Piper is LuLu’s half-sister, 56.25% Finnsheep and 43.75% Valais Blacknose. Friendly and outgoing, she’s the farm greeter and always ready for a chin scratch. She will be recorded with AVBSR as a percentage ewe once her DNA certification is complete.
