Wooly faces, kind hearts, and tiny hooves on southern soil.

meet our babydoll southdown flock.
Are you wondering right about now…

if you need a babydoll?

  • Small Batch:
    We raise our Babydoll Southdown lambs on a small scale so we can give each one the care and attention it deserves. Every pairing is thoughtfully planned, and every lamb is raised by hand with quiet presence and purpose. This small batch approach allows us to prioritize the quality, health, and temperament in our flock resulting in happy, well-socialized lambs ready to thrive on new farms.
  • Why Babydolls?
    Babydoll Southdown sheep are beloved for their calm nature, petite size, and smiling faces. They’re gentle on the land and gentle with people—making them ideal for families, first-time shepherds, and small homesteads alike. Whether you’re grazing an orchard, tending a backyard pasture, or simply seeking quiet companionship, Babydolls bring peace and personality wherever they go.
  • Pricing:
    Our lambs are priced individually based on their sex, markings, registration eligibility, and parentage. Most lambs range from $800 and up. Pricing reflects the quality of our animals, pedigrees, the intentional way they’re raised, and the time we invest into each one. A non-refundable deposit is required to reserve your lamb, with the remaining balance due before pickup or transport. Lambs are not reserved until the deposit is received.
  • Health:
    Every lamb leaves our farm fully weaned and socialized, with age-appropriate vaccinations and regular deworming and tagged with their USDA ear tag. We’ll also provide a copy of our Babydoll Sheep Care Guide, along with a record of their treatments and helpful tips for settling them into their new home.
  • Purchasing:
    When you’re ready to reserve a lamb, we’ll help guide you through the process. Whether you’re a first-time owner or adding to an established flock, we’re here to answer questions and offer support. We want every lamb to go to a loving, prepared home so we’ll walk through the basics together and make sure it’s a good fit for both of you. A copy of our Babydoll Sheep Sale Contract will be sent to you to sign and return to us once your deposit has been placed.
  • Guarantee:
    Once a deposit is placed, your lamb is officially reserved for you. In the rare event that something unforeseen were to happen to the animal while in our care (injury, illness, or death) before pickup, delivery, or transport, we guarantee a full refund of your deposit, or you may choose to transfer it toward another available lamb, if one is suitable and available. After pickup, the animal is in the complete responsibility of the new owner, although we will be glad to make any recommendations of care to the best of our ability.
  • Pick Up:
    Lambs can be picked up at our farm in Etta, Mississippi once they are weaned and fully ready for their next step. We’ll coordinate pickup timing with you directly, and provide helpful tips to make the ride home as smooth and stress-free as possible.
  • Transportation:
    If you’re unable to pick up your lamb from our farm, we’re happy to help coordinate with a trusted livestock hauler. We only work with transporters who are experienced, responsible, and gentle with animals. We’ll work closely with you to find a solution that keeps your lamb safe and comfortable during travel. In some cases, we are able to provide delivery from our farm to yours and can determine this as we talk further.

Thoughtfully raised from our farm to yours. Meet our rams and ewes.

Our Rams & Ram Lambs

Our rams play a quiet but essential role in the heart of our flock. Each one is a reflection of what we value most in our Babydoll sheep … a calm disposition, balanced conformation, and small, true-to-type stature. These boys are the foundation behind every lamb we raise.

Chestnut

the sire of our lambs.

Chestnut is a spotted ram from Apple Fox Farm. He is BSRA Registered and such a gentle leader of our flock. He (kindly) demands chin scratches each day.

At our farm, we will only breed, raise, and offer well mannered rams and ram lambs. Chestnut’s wonderful demeanor is proven in his sweet lambs.

Ray of Sunshine

$600

Lightly Spotted + Spot Carrier Ram
DOB: July 17, 2025
Dam: Rosemary (Off-White Ewe)
Sire: Chestnut (Spotted/Spot Carrier Ram)
Ray will not be registered as his dam is not registered.

Rosemary, my sweet off-white ewe, gave us quite the end-of-Summertime surprise when she delivered a healthy baby boy.

Ray is black with a white spot on his head and carries the spotted gene.

A half deposit of $300 sent via Venmo (friends and family), PayPal, or mailed cashier’s check is required to hold him
with the remaining balance paid prior to transport
or at the time of pickup from the farm.
He will be ready to join your farm the week of September 25.

Ray will be sold as an intact ram and his tail will be docked. Before leaving our farm, he will be up to date on his CD/T shots and will come with his USDA Scrapies Tag in his ear.

If you prefer to have Ray as a wether (pet only), we are happy to help with this. His payment must be sent in full prior to this appointment. A service charge of $100 must be accompanied with your full purchase for the procedure. Please include a memo with your payment that says your purchase includes the Veterinary Wethering Service.

He will make an excellent breeder or pet as a wether!

Our Ewes & Ewe Lambs

Our ewes are the heartbeat of our flock. Steady, nurturing, and deeply loved. Each one has been raised on our farm or thoughtfully selected to match our vision for gentle, small batch sheep. Whether seasoned moms or growing ewe lambs, these girls represent the care, character, and calm nature we believe in most.
