Because of their short legs, "Babydolls" do well in small areas. Both ewes
and rams are polled (have no horns) and are non-aggressive by nature. They
are not wanderers and do not bother fences. The ewes are exceptional
mothers, often raising twins and triplets with ease. Rarely do they need
assistance when lambing.

Since "Babydolls" are an ancient breed, they are not prone to many of the
modern sheep problems. They are quite resistant to foot rot. In general,
they are cared for like any other sheep, which includes worming, hoof
trimming and a variety of vaccines for yearly boosters, tetanus and
overeating.

"Babydolls" make outstanding pets and produce wool that is a hand spinners
delight. They provide organic weeding and these sheep have been used with
great success in orchards, berry farms and vineyards. They leave the
grounds well groomed as well as fertilizing as they graze. They are a good
investment opportunity.

Due to their flocking instincts, sheep do not do well alone. We only sell
sheep in pairs, or if they are going to homes where other sheep already
live. Generally, a sheep kept alone will become aggressive or depressed
regardless of the time or attention that it spends with humans. Do not
place these "Babydolls" in with an intact male llama or alpaca, who will
attempt breeding with them.

These wonderfull little sheep, standing at about 21 to 23 inches, make
excellent companions for young, elderly, handicapped and are welcomed
visitors to nursing homes, the homebound and to people with special needs.
Their gentle nature makes them a joy! They love to be petted and love
people. They have the most beautiful faces and the shape of their mouth
makes them look like they are smiling all the time.
