Meet Our Flock
Our Babydoll Southdown Sheep
Teddy
Teddy is a spotted, purebred babydoll ram, though he is not registered. I really love his fuzzy face, little ears and big head! He is very petite at only 19" at the shoulder. He is so gentle and has never been aggressive or rammy, even during mating season. His temperament, size and sound structure make him the perfect herd sire and I will be using him for the foreseeable future.
Sheldon
Sheldon is a registered, wildly spotted babydoll ram. He is docile and friendly, though also cautious. He is a smidge taller than Teddy. I was happy when he became available because he comes from Apple Fox Farms in CT, one of the best known breeders of spotted babydoll southdowns.
Adele
Adele is relatively new to the farm. She is a registered, spotted babydoll ewe. She has a gentle nature, but like Sheldon, she is a bit cautious. She is a bit taller than the rest of my babydolls, so she may not make it on to the vineyard crew, but paired with one of the shorty rams, perhaps her lambs will make the cut!
Coco Puff
Coco Puff arrived with Adele from Tyto Farms. She is so petite and round -- my favorite type of babydoll southdown! She is already a family favorite because she is so cute and friendly. She is a registered spot carrier, and once mature enough, we hope she will have some spotted lambs with Sheldon.
Lollie
Lollie has the sweetest face and a disposition to match. She's very gentle and inquisitive, and a loving mom. She and Ellie are very petite which is perfect for vineyard management! She is registered.
Ellie
Ellie and Lollie are old friends and are often hanging out together. Ellie lost an ear after she was attacked by a dog at her previous farm, but it doesn't slow her down. Like Lollie, she is gentle, sweet and a doting mother. She is registered.
Ivy
Ivy came to the farm along with Lollie, Ellie and her daughter Bailey. She is easily identifiable in the field with her floppy ear! She is quiet and is less inclined to approach us than the other ewes from her flock, but she is not skittish and is comfortable having us around. She is registered.
Bailey
Bailey is Ivy's daughter. She and her mom have cute white patches on their noses! Bailey sustained some head trauma at her previous farm which makes her tilt her head. She is also partially blind and deaf, but she keeps up with the flock and has no problem finding the hay trough!
Our Valais Blacknose Sheep
Elodie
Elodie was born on the farm. She is a recorded F2, which means she is 75% VBN and 25% other. She is a twin but her mother and twin sister have moved on to another farm. Elodie is a spitti, so she is predominantly black (though sun bleached in this picture). She is so loving, goofy and stunning that we had to keep her. She is most definitely a family favorite. She is also our only sheep with horns. Elodie is recorded with VBSS (Valais Blacknose Sheep Society) and is DNA certified.
Henry

Henry is the son of Kramer and Holly. He is 68.75% VBN and 100% the cutest creature on earth. 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!
Klee

Klee is a ewe lamb out of my smallest babydoll southdown and Kramer. She is so much smaller than many of her Kramer half siblings! Her wool is neither babydoll southdown or VBN -- it is a poofy mash up of both. She was very skittish when she was first born, but now she loves to be scratched and petted.

Our Finnsheep
Lulu
LuLu is half babydoll southdown and half Finnsheep. She is incredibly friendly and will allow us to hug her and scratch her face for as long as we want. Her wool is so soft and dense. She's a great momma, too!
Piper

Piper is Lulu's half sister. She is 56.25% Finnsheep and 43.75% Valais Blacknose sheep, and 100% friendly! She is the farm greeter and she always has a lot to say. Feel like just scratching her chin? Okay! She's happy to oblige. She will be recorded with AVBSR (American Valais Blacknose Sheep Registry) as a percentage ewe pending her DNA certification.
