NABSSAR Registered · Heritage breed · Gentle lawn mowers with button noses

​

With their teddy bear faces and woolly coats, our Babydoll Southdowns are as endearing as they are practical. One of the oldest English sheep breeds, these gentle souls originated on the rolling South Downs of Sussex, England—and today, they graze happily among the pastures at Little Tail Farms.

​

Registered with NABSSAR, our Babydolls are prized not only for their calm temperaments and small stature, but for their usefulness on the farm. From orchard weed control to natural lawn trimming, they quietly earn their keep—all while winning hearts.

​

They’re easy to care for:

• Modest shelter 

• Smaller feed requirements than larger breeds

• Gentle on fences—they stay close to home

• And yes, those soft bleats make the mornings sweeter

​

They do require the same thoughtful care as other sheep—like regular hoof trimming, shearing, and wellness checks—but they return it all in quiet joy and storybook presence.

​

Whether you’re building a small flock or just dreaming of a few friendly grazers in the orchard, Babydolls offer the perfect blend of heritage, heart, and simplicity.

​

Come visit—we think you’ll fall for those sweet little faces too.
