Although our vineyard is in the beginning stages, we have grown our Babydoll flock over the past few years and sell our registered lambs each spring for prices well below that mentioned in the article. Babydolls are wonderful sheep for many purposes and are quite popular as barnyard pets and ornamental lawn mowers also! As mentioned by others, they do need good fencing, protection, and ongoing thoughtful care. There is much more information available about them on my website: MyLittleSheep.com We are doing a similar experiment using Babydoll Sheep in our vineyard in Missouri.

They are a wonderful breed and not as expensive as the article stated. A wethered or non-breeding rams is only about $300. If any one is interested in purchasing, please visit my website and contact ASAP -- they are going quick! I breed Babydolls in NJ and have 6 ram lambs for sale.

Even the best, registered, Babydoll's price shouldn't exceed $900 for a breeding quality lamb. Buyer beware! Ask to see the papers before you leave the farm!If you're not interested in breeding, pet quality sheep, without registration are not so pricey and will do the job of cleaning up your vineyard. If the breeder is sellingt pet quality (ie without registration) neutered rams and ewes average price range is between $400-$600. When handled regularly, Miniature Southdown Babydoll sheep make very nice, friendly pets. Regardless of why you want them, it is important to understand that you can't just drop them in a vineyard and ignore them. They do need attention and care including protection from predators, annual shearing, vaccinations, and regular hoof trimming. Babydoll sheep are wonderful but they should not cost $2000!
