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.  Sometimes a white lamb will be born with a pale spot here or there.  That will fade and is not considered spotted.

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.  

The first of Prissy's  ram lambs looked completely black at first but he also shows small merle markings.  We will however officially list him as black as the white flecks are very small.  The curl on his fleece is so tight!  He is going to have nice fiber.  

Would recommend as a wethered pet.

Prissy's second lamb was a wee bit smaller and has a few merle markings on his neck sides and hips.  really super curly fleece.  Going to have nice fiber.

Would recommend as a wethered pet.  

Born Feb 27, 2021.  Really pretty merle markings and a very fuzzy Babydoll face.  Out of Nezelet, a spotted Harlequin ewe with strong Babydoll features and Teddy, our merle Babydoll ram.

Would recommend as a breed up Harlequin Ram.  He is round and colorful with nice manners.   

Born Feb 28, 2021.  Highly spotted F1 Harlequin ewe lamb.  Smooth face so will be more harlequin looking although her dad is Teddy, our merle Babydoll ram.  Neither of her parents are highly spotted.  But both have it in parentage.  

Petite black harlequin ewe. Born March 5, 2021 Carries the spot gene.  Will be registered as an F1 Harlequin.  50%/50%  Babydoll/ Harlequin mother.

100% Babydoll father.  

Call him Mr. Perfect!  Born March 8, 2021.  Will be registered as an F1 Harlequin.  Out of Francesca, a beautiful FP level Harlequin ewe.  (she has the prettiest harlequin features we have seen and wish the breed was sticking with these characteristics)

Sired by Teddy (hence he can only be registered as an F1 Harlequin)

Unless you are obsessed with breed ranking, this ram lamb is going to be PERFECT for developing your own miniature spotted flock.

Born March 13, 2021 out of an F1 Harlequin black ewe, Starla and Teddy, our merle babydoll ram. Pink nose and BIG peacock spots.  

Although he is only an F1 generation lamb he is a great ram prospect to keep your harlequins colorful small and woolly.

Born March 20, 2021 out of an FP spotted Harlequin ewe, Irit.

Pretty head and has a white spot on head and tail (although his tail will be docked for health/sanitary reasons.)  Carries the spot gene.

Born March 21, 2021 out of an F1  Harlequin ewe.  This colorful ram lamb is the perfect candidate to get some gorgeous spotted babydoll genetics into your herd.
