Buying our sheep

We have ewes and lambs available each summer after our lambs have been weaned. We sell both stud quality and pet/commercial quality Babydolls. We have white and coloured Babydolls. Our Babydoll flocks are Gaucher Free.

When we have sheep available, we email the people on our waitlist first before advertising more widely. If you have told us that you are looking for Babydoll sheep for a particular purpose, we will keep that in mind.

We grow some ram lambs out until they are one year old before offering for sale. This helps stud buyers to see how the rams are turning out and whether they will suit their breeding goals.

Sheep need to live in groups and have pasture to graze. They are not happy living on their own or in a small backyard.

You need a Property Identification Code (PIC) to move sheep onto your property. Each state has a different system for issuing them. If you don't have a PIC, please apply for one now to save delays in picking up sheep.

Which sheep?

We encourage you to think about what combination of sheep will work best for you.

If you are new to keeping sheep then beginning with some wethers can help you to build your skills in sheep husbandry. Wethers that are in frequent contact with friendly people can quickly become like friendly dogs that also mow the lawn. Wethers are also a cost effective, lower maintenance option for vineyards and orchards.

If you are planning to breed Babydolls then starting with a small flock of registered ewes or ewe lambs and adding a ram when the ewes are old enough for breeding (18 months) is a practical approach.

Please think about how you are going to manage your sheep at the times when the ram needs to be kept separate from the ewes since sheep do not like to be kept on their own. Keeping a wether as a buddy for a single ram works well.


Biosecurity

Our Babydoll sheep and flocks are:
  • Free from Gaucher (a recessive genetic defect found in Southdowns and Babydolls which can wreak havoc in your flock)
  • Tagged with EID ear tags
  • Fully vaccinated using 6in1
  • Lifetime vaccinated with Gudair against Ovine Johnes Disease
  • Managed for worms and other parasites using a WormBoss-style  program
  • Brucellosis accredited  (NSW 76998).

A National Vendor Declaration (NVD), National Sheep Health Declaration (NSHD) and detailed health records are provided with all sheep sold.

We can export our Babydoll sheep internationally.

Registration

We will register any stud quality Babydoll ewes and rams that you buy. This helps to keep your options open.

Roogulli Babydolls: the white and coloured Babydoll ewes and rams from the Roogulli flock are registered with Babydoll Sheep Breeders Australia as Purebred Babydolls or as Emerging (EM) Babydolls. Most of our EM Babydolls are eligible for inspection for upgrade to purebred registration at one year old. most of our white sheep can also be registered as Southdown with Australian Stud Sheep Breeders Association.

Hillgrove Babydolls: the Hillgrove flock is dual registered as Babydoll with Australian Stud Sheep Breeders Association (ASSBA) and Babydoll Sheep Breeders Australia (BSBA). Please let us know if you are specifically looking for Babydolls to use in the ASSBA Babydoll registry.

Full pedigrees are provided and registration transfers as appropriate for ASSBA Babydoll, BSBA Babydoll and ASSBA Southdown are included in the price for rams and ewes.
