Babydoll Southdown Sheep

Dexter Corner is also home to another Small breed of critters. "Babydoll Sheep"

Old English Babydoll Southdown Sheep

The New Lambs on The Block~!

Or in this case " The Corner ".

For years I have wished to own a small flock of Babydoll Sheep. I have owned several other breeds over the years but once I learned of these unique little "Woollies". I knew I had to have some. My intent is not to have a huge flock. Rather to have a few well bred, proportionate, Healthy, Babydolls for myself and perhaps others that have the same interest in them as I do.

I intend to do my best with this breed of sheep. Like I have done with the Mini Jersey breed. Difference is most of the leg work has already been done by others that have the passion for this breed where as I had to start from scratch with the Little Jerseys.

So now lets begin with the story of how "Babydolls"

came to find a home on "The Corner ".

After doing endless searches on the Internet of all the different breeders of these unique little Heritage "woollies"

Learning as much as I could about the history and the different registries and the breed itself. I found myself wondering what the best route for my situation would be. Well I did not have to think about it very long because I found 5 head of Babydolls that were born and bred by a very reputable breeder in Missouri. Four out of the five head in my small flock came from "My Little Sheep" farm located near Springfield MO. Mail@MyLittleSheep.com .

The other one is an offspring of one the original 4.

The four originals are all 2 year olds. Born in the spring of 2011. The other ewe lamb was born in the spring of 2012. At the Riker farm in IN. The Rikers were unable to keep their small flock and so they were moved to their new home on Dexter Corner.

The original 4 are double registered.

My intent is to register this years lambs with the

North American Babydoll Sheep Association and Registry (NABSSAR) .I feel that they are the Registry to go with and I see no need to double register in the future.

So lets meet the Woollies. Shall we?

Both when they were lambs and how they look today.

With all there woolliness....
