Coloured Romneys

We have been breeding Coloured Romneys for over 50 years. We will breed rams on request and we have young stock for sale every year at weaning and also colored yarn.

Baby doll

We have purebred ewes for sale every year and will also have one or two purebred rams for sale most years.

Woolytot Babydoll Old English Southdown.

Our aim is to have a small quality flock of these wonderful little sheep. They are in sharp contrast to the much larger Valais Blacknose sheep they share a paddock with, and they debatably rival them for the cutest sheep in the world claim. Of course it is hard to compare the beautiful cuteness of the Blacknose for a crazy smiley faced bearded cuteness of the Babydoll! Our aim is to breed our Babydolls between 50cm and 56 cm at the shoulder for ewes and under 59 cm for rams. Preferably our Babydolls will have the beards and Ugg boots that make them look so different.

In our breed standard we also wish to include wool quality. The original Old English Southdown was noted for having a fleece almost as fine as a Merino and producing soft desirable yarns.
We have crossbred breeding up ewes from grade D to grade C for sale now.

We will have purebred rams each year for sale as 2ths once we are satisfied they are maturing to standard. We also have for sale wether lambs from Grade C to purebred every year.

By 2026 we will have a limited number of purebred ewes for sale.

Our sires used are a mixture of Australian and English genetics bred by top NZ breeding studs. We are looking into importing semen from new Australian sires in the next few years.
