Babydoll and Finn x Babydoll Lambs Ready For New Pastures

All of the lambs have been born – with a total of 51 skipping around the farm! They are eating well from the creep feed and have even been out on pasture. All but the very youngest will be ready to go with hoof trims and both CD&T vaccinations (and castrations, where appropriate), by Memorial Day weekend. Some of the older lambs before then. I will also be reducing my Finn X Doll flock a bit so some adult ewes will also be for sale as well (with their multiple births they quickly outnumber my Babydolls). The Babydolls will be registerable with NABSSAR. I can offer breeding groups with the Finn X Dolls (Babydolls don’t get bred their first year so most folks don’t buy ram right away.)

Check out these website links for how to reserve sheep, pictures of available lambs, information on the parents and what they bring to the genetic pool, and the information about the wonderful wool of both groups. I enjoy mentoring individuals new to shepherding so try to be available to answer many of the questions that arise. I hope I can help you discover the fun of sheep ownership and/or add new genetics to your existing flock!

Cute, sweet, and useful – Finn x Doll lambs available for sale as pets, lawnmowers, & wool producers

Apr20

Lambing is complete for the spring season and I have an abundance of lovely lambs available to new homes. There are blacks, whites, browns and some with HST (Head-Socks-Tail) patterns and some with extra spots elsewhere (piebald). There are multiple percentages of Finnsheep versus Babydoll Southdown to choose from – depending on your desired wool traits. The offspring of my 2 rams used this year can be bred to each other without inbreeding issues. I’m especially interested in seeing my bottle babies find new homes. They are THE BEST!!!! Below is a chart of the lambs sorted by color and sire (dad). At the end is a link back to the lamb page for additional information about their moms, siblings, etc.

These are just a few of the 39 Finn X Doll lambs. If you are interested in a particular color/pattern/%Finn/sex combination, let me know and I can send additional photos. Also click HERE to see baby pictures.

Great Fiber Flock Animals Available!

Jun28

UPDATE: As of December 3, 2022 I have a limited selection of Finn x Babydolls available for new homes. Of the animals described in the following post from 6/28/22, just Judi and Francesca are available. Currently accepting reservations for spring 2023 lambs.

These hybrid sheep grow fleece that is wonderful to spin, knit and wear. It is next to the skin soft, lovely natural colors (and takes dye well) and beautifully crimped. They can be shorn once or twice a year depending on the wool fiber length desired. The animals themselves are very friendly. (Note: rams are potentially dangerous and not recommended as “pets”!)

I have 2 rams left from different fathers and they can be bred to the sisters of the other. I have images posted below with the rams first, their potential ladies next, and the wethers and a couple of adult ewes last as they could join any flock. Some fiber farmers don’t bother with the rams and lambs part and have flocks made up of just ewes and/or wethers. They can all be shorn once or twice a year depending on your desired wool length. Animals below are various percentages of Finn & Babydoll. The 62% Finns are expected to produce about 5″/year and the 82% Finns closer to 6.5″.
