Thank you for your interest in our flock!
Our family has been raising registered Olde English Babydoll Southdown sheep in Eastern Nebraska for about 30 years. We breed for excellence in conformation and mothering ability/udders. We like a good fleece, too. We have sheared, carded, spun, and knitted their wool, milked them and made various cheeses, and butcher lambs for our freezers each year. We also sell breeding stock to help other producers start or strengthen their flocks.
Our flock was established by Janette in the mid-90s with a pair of sheep which were part of the foundation flock when the classic-style Southdowns were renamed Babydolls and established as a breed. It is now managed by us, Ben and Laura, Janette and Bill’s son’s family. Lambing happens at our place, 5 miles west of the home farm. The flock has really grown on us, both literally and figuratively, since the shepherding torch was passed to us in 2011.
We are members of both the North American Babydoll Southdown Sheep Registry (NABSSAR) and the Olde English Babydoll Registry (OEBR):

We expect to have lambs available each year. Lambing will be in April; weaning in July.
1/24/25 update: No horses currently available.
The original breeding stock for miniature horses came from the ‘pit’ ponies or Shetland ponies used in the coal mines of Wales and England. Their descendants still exhibit impressive strength for their size, and our ponies often surprise people with what they can pull and carry.
Janette raises registered miniature horses as well as some Shetland crosses, and uses them to introduce children to the joy of riding, driving, grooming, and handling ponies. Many of her animals have been to the county fair, summer camp for handicapped children, nursing homes, and farm education events for elementary students. They are 28-36 inches tall, and gentle and friendly.
