Lazy JV Ranch Babydoll Southdown Sheep

Welcome to Lazy JV Ranch Babydoll Sheep. We
have a small herd and are located near Central City,
Kentucky. All of our adult sheep have been Codon
Tested and we are in the Volunteer Scrapies
Program. We are members of the North American
Babydoll Southdown Sheep Association and Registry
(NABSSAR) and have all of our Babydolls
Registered with them. We really enjoy our babydolls
and have just recently started showing them. If you
are ever in our area stop by to visit us.
Information about Babydolls:
These sheep originated in Southeastern England, and
were imported by John Ellman to America in the
1800's. They are small in size and are 24 inches or
less at the shoulders. Lambing without difficulty is
one of the qualities of the "babydolls" therefore
ewes under 18 inches are discouraged. Their wool is
short, stapled, and fine. Wool on the face gives a
teddy bear appearance and a smiling facial
expression. They have a gentle temperament and mix
well with other animals such as: goats, alpacas,
llamas, miniature horses and donkeys. They do not
have horns and make great pets. These wonderful
little sheep make excellent companions for the
young, elderly, handicapped, and as welcome visitors
to nursing homes, the homebound, and to people with
special needs. Their gentle nature and easy care
make them an ideal choice.
