Our Babydoll sheep
Babydoll sheep are known for their lambs with fluffy faces and knee high 'socks'. However much fun that stage might be, it is just one stage and well bred Babydoll sheep grow into easy going, short, stocky adults with a springy Downs fleece and flavoursome meat.
To us 'the best' means Babydoll sheep that are healthy, easy to care for, easy lambers and good mothers. We want them to have good conformation and be true to the AABMGS Babydoll Southdown breed standard including being under 62cm high at the shoulder.
Our Babydoll sheep are also purebred Southdowns. Our breeding goal is to combine the smaller height found in older Southdown genetics with significant improvements achieved in the last few decades of Southdown breeding in Australia. Of course this can't happen instantly but we are working on it!
People across Australia buy our Babydoll sheep to start their own Babydoll flocks, as lawn mowers, pets, to manage grass and weeds and to produce meat and fibre.

Our dream
Developing a new Babydoll sheep breed for Australia to suit people wanting small flocks of small, easy going sheep.
Registration and accreditation
We register our Babydoll breeding flock so that you can be assured that an independent person has checked their pedigree and assessed them against the AABMGS Babydoll Southdown sheep breed standard.
Roogulli stud is registered with Australian Stud Sheep Breeders Association (ASSBA) and the Australian All Breeds of Miniature Goat and Sheep Society (AABMGS).
Roogulli Babydolls can be registered as Babydoll Southdown sheep with AABMGS or as Southdowns with ASSBA. Almost all of our sheep are purebred. Registrations options for Babydolls are confusing and constantly changing. If you are thinking of setting up a registered flock we are happy to answer questions about the options.
We use DNA testing to ensure that our flock are not carriers of the Gaucher Disease gene. Our flock is Brucellosis accredited.
