Olde English “Babydoll” Southdown sheep is one of the oldest English breeds of sheep, which originated in Sussex County, England in 1780.
They are small, outstanding pets that produce wool that is a hand spinners delight, provide organic weeding, make excellent companion animals, and are a good investment opportunity. These wonderful little sheep have a gentle nature that makes them a joy.
Their calm, docile disposition has a soothing effect on other livestock and can be kept with donkeys, horses, llamas, alpacas, goats and cattle.
Babydolls are 24” or under when shorn and lamb without difficulty. They come in mostly white or black. Prices start around $275.
