Welcome to Forever Farms! We are a small 30 acre farm in Culpeper County, Virginia, established in April 2011. Our main focus is our growing OEBSR & NABSSAR registered Babydoll Southdown flock. The first sheep came home October 2011. Our slowly expanding flock currently consists of three rams and thirty-three ewes. The flock is pastured year round, they have baking soda and loose sheep minerals always available, they are free fed mixed grass hay in October and November. Whole flock is moved out to winter grazing in December. Expecting ewes are fed supplementary alfalfa/corn pellet from roughly February through early April. Lambs are pulled the day before pickup & will be dewormed. Please make sure to check often for signs of worm bloom due to moving stress. Lambs are highly susceptible to parasites.
As of Spring 2023, we have three breeding rams, all of which are registered with at least three of the four registries. There are currently fourty-one ewes, with all being triple or quadruple registered. We have a genetically varied breeding flock from several states, including Colorado, Virginia, Maryland, South Dakota, California, North Carolina, Missouri, Ohio, West Virginia & Kentucky!
Babydolls were chosen for many reasons, their small size makes them easier to handle alone. Being naturally polled prevents them from getting stuck in fencing and feeders. These little smiling cotton balls do not challenge fencing and are generally very calm, relaxed sheep as adults. Lambs need new owners to continue working with them to gentle them. They get along well with other animals and are naturally a very hardy, parasite resistant sheep that also tend to lamb easily. Singles and twins are common, but the rare triplet does happen. They require yearly shearing & hoof trims one to four times a year, depending on the individual.
We breed black, white & spotted Babydoll Southdowns. We are hoping to have a few spot carrier ewe lambs available for sale in spring 2023. Several mature ewes will also be put up for sale, as well as one two year old ewe & a yearling ewe.
Enjoy your visit, we hope you find everything you are looking for!
