Mini Babydoll Southdown

"Babydoll" Southdown Sheep

The Babydoll is a small heritage breed of now rare sheep.  It was used for meat and wool and milk and was a hearty sheep breed and easy care. It is the original "Southdown" that was brought to North America from England. 
They after WWI the breed was crossed to increase it's size and selected for larger size till we have the Southdown of today.  In the 1990's a small  flock of the original breed was found and other's were rounded up from various places and a private registry started by Robert Mock. It was given the name Old English Babydoll Southdown to distinguish them from the current larger variety of Southdowns.
They are a wonderful little sheep with fine wool like cashmere. Since they are a miniature breed and friendly easy care sheep they are also a favourite for petting zoos and small acreages.
