Olde EnglishBabydoll Southdown Sheep are a very old breed. One of the earliest to be brought to North America from England. They are a rare breed of sheep and are a separate breed from the larger Southdown sheep . Lately, the shorter stocky breed has enjoyed resurgence, as Babydoll sheep are the perfect breed for small acreage farms, petting zoos, therapy animals, and lawn, orchard, and vineyard trimmers.  These small sheep are extremely hardy and produce good flavored meat.



Babydolls are a very gentle, docile breed. They are intelligent, tame quickly and seem to truly enjoy interaction with humans. Babydoll sheep are short and stocky, ranging in height between 19 and 24 inches. They have cute woolly faces, which seem to smile.  They are excellent animals for 4H projects.  They are easy to care for and require only minimumal space.  Ewes are good mothers who often have twins. While Babydoll sheep are not known for challenging their boundaries, secure fencing is a must, mostly for the protection of the flock.

They are an ancient breed and are not prone to many of the modern sheep problems and are resistant to foot rot . BabyDolls are cared for as other sheep - regular worming, foot trimming , yearly shearing and vaccination, covers most of their care and treatment. Their wool is short stapled and fine. It is very close in quality to cashmere. 

Here at Broken Road Farm, we are breeding for sound structure, good temperament and fuzzy smiling faces!
