Small sheep with smiling faces who love eating treats and meeting Dairy guests. Our miniature sheep have beautiful, soft wool (great for petting, or spinning when they get too hot).

Sheep have no upper front teeth, and nibble gently when hand fed. Very sweet natured, they do not typically butt or ram their heads into people.

Unlike larger sheep and goats, these mini sheep are easy to house behind short fences and light gates. They don't typically ram fences or challenge gates.

Our night housing serves the purpose of protecting the sheep from predators. Sheep require a night barn, or sheltered night pen with high, sturdy fences to protect against predators such as coyotes, bobcats and mountain lions.

Sheep concentrate on grazing, keeping four feet on the ground. Goats are typically browsers, not grazers. They tend to stand on their hind legs and reach up to bushes and trees.

The sheep keep the grass as low as possible. The entire East side of our Dairy is rich with large pastures for our little grazers. In the Fall, when grasslands dry, Eastern Santa Ana winds blow, and fires spark easily. We always ensure that our farm is well protected from wildfires, so our little ones stay safe.

This lamb is a harlequin.  Both his sire and dam are highly colored.  

Where spotted babydolls are few and far between, spotted harlequins are more common.  

Black lambs rarely stay jet black as the sun will fade their color.  But when sheered will be jet black underneath.

Merle is when a lamb is black with scattered "celestial" looking white markings (looking sort of like a galaxy.)  Often  a black ewe with spotted genetics will throw this color.  

According to the registry, merle is simply registered as spotted.

The spotted genetics will often show up on a black lamb as a white mark on the face.   This happens often with a white ewe bred to a spotted ram. This white spot will often show on a black lamb indicating it carries the spot gene.

White is white.  No markings.

Our herd will be unlikely to produce white as we do not have any white ewes.

This gray ewe started out jet black with no white hairs at all.  She turned to this lovely gray over three years.  Many of the black lambs will turn to this.  When this ewe is sheered, she is gray... not black at the roots.

It's what's inside that counts!

Every one of our lambs has strong color genetics on both their sire and dams sides.  

Our ram is a faded merle color looking mostly black and we are getting loud color from him and some of our black moms.  Every single lamb this year shows at least a hint of white.  Bred to a sheep that also carries the spot gene, these lambs should throw color too.

Teddy is a petite registeredd babydoll with a gentle temperment.  Although it does not show when his wool is long, he is a merle spotted ram.  

A note on breeding for color:

5 of our most highly colored lambs born so far this year have come from are merle  and black ewes.
