Buyers 2024
Welcome to our Buyers info page.
We are taking a break this year so no lambs till June /July 2025
If you here for breeding pairs, coloured sheep, appendix ewes or pet Wethers whatever your after we hope we can supply some adorable lambs for you this year.
As you can imagine we have lots of enquiries and not enough lambs to supply, due to the increasing interest in this adorable breed.
Babydoll Southdown's are seasonal breeders, so they tend to come into estrous in March and breed thru till May/June.
So, what to expect when buying a breeding pair?
For buyers just starting out we can recommend pairs that are best suited based on unrelated pedigrees in these cases not all lambs will be available for you. (Smaller selection to pick from) But you are of course welcome to purchase any sheep you would like for your own personal programs.
What to expect once lambs or lambs have been chosen?
If you are purchasing lambs with AABMGS papers you are free to pick your own names Our stud prefix will go first followed by whatever name, you would like to give them. The registrar of AABMGS will send you your papers directly this is for members and non-members of AABMGS if you are a member, we just require your membership numbers for the paperwork.
If you are breeders or intend to become breeders of ASSBA Southdown, you will need to tell us this before selection to make sure you receive the correct paperwork. Not available 2024
If you are breeders or intend to become breeders of ASSBA Babydoll you will need to tell us this before selection to make sure you receive the correct paperwork also. Not available 2024

Lambs' management
EAR TAGS: All lambs will have a ear tag year of birth. Lambs will have a micro chipped RFID chip Tag that can be read with a RFID scanner as well as visually.
VACCINE: Lambs will have received their 1st dose of vaccination of Ultra vac 5 in 1 for the prevention of clostridial diseases (2nd dose will only be given if its four-Six weeks after first dose and before transport) if its due after transporting their 2nd dose will be the responsibility of the buyers.
TAILS: We ring and or Hot tail our lambs using our Vet recommended practices, we administer Pain relief for these procedures using a vet prescribed pain relief product. We aim for tails to be fallen off before transport but sometimes this is not possible so lambs may be sent with tails still in the falling off time period.
WORMS: Wormed with either Q-Drench,Tridectine oral or Closantal (depending on the seasonal worms).
Although your lambs have been wormed with the recommended doses, WA has barbers pole worm, although your lambs were treated before transport but as the wormers available in Australia are not 100 % effective and will not eliminate all worms it is recommended all lambs be quarantined and rewormed by new owners on uptake.
Lice: Lambs will also be treated for Lice using Extinosad or Spurt upon shearing of the mothers mid-September
CLIKZIN: Depending on the time of the year lambs may have been treated with Clikzin for blow fly treatment.
WETHERS: Wethers will have been castrated using the ring method, Pain relief is administered at time of castration using a vet prescribed pain relief product. We aim for their Testies to have fallen off before transport if this hasn't happened Wethers will be sent with their dried but not yet fallen of ball sack still attached.
PIC Numbers
Keeping in line with the Department of agricultural rules all sheep or lambs sold can only be sold to buyers who have a current Pic number. We will need a pic number to sell to you If you don't have a pic number, we will be unable to sell sheep to you
I have placed the links at the bottom of this page to apply for a pic number in your state.
If you are considering buying from us it is recommended to apply for your Pic number a few months before the sale.
National sheep health declaration
We will provide the NSHS forms these will be sent via email or messenger with your final payment receipt.
Weigh Bill
We will supply you with a National Vendor Declaration weigh bill this will be given to the transport company driver or person responsible for pickup.
If using a transport Company (it is recommended to ask the driver for your copy upon delivery)
ASSBA BABYDOLL Papers
If you are a ASSBA breeder we can transfer and register the lambs direct to your stud thru the ASSBA members portal. If you are not yet a member but are thinking about it but would like the ASSBA papers, we can send you a combined transfer and registration form signed with the lamb's pedigree details on it this is all you will need to send along with your ASSBA membership application directly to the ASSBA secretary.
You can pick your own name for your papers Our stud prefix must go first TANJAR but your free to pick any name you would like.
ASSBA BABYDOLL does not issue papers for Wethers or Appendix sheep.
Receipt and final payment.
Full payment is due a week (7 days) before transport (If using a transport company) and must be cleared before the lambs go on the truck any payment that is not received in full those lambs will be held back and the deposit will be not refunded.
Once full payment is made, we will send thru a receipt of payment via email or messenger.
For on farm pickups all sheep must be paid for in full before leaving the property.
Please allow enough time for any online bank deposits to be in our bank account before the arranged pick up day or the sheep will be held over until it shows up in our bank and pickup will then be arranged for another time.
DISCLAIMER
On the bottom of your receipt will be a disclaimer Please read thru the disclaimer note below If you would like to speak about the disclaimer, we are happy to chat about this.
"Terms: No guarantee of the eventual adult size, height, weight, conformation, fertility or wool coverage will be given. Once sheep leave the property, wether on farm pickup or the use of a Transport company, Purchased Sheep are under the new owner's care and as such all their care and future treatments are the new owners responsibility. If using Transport Companies all costs incurred become the new owner's responsibility. This applies to all sheep sold with or without papers and Wethers. Please Refer to Website www.babydollsheepaustralia.com Buyer's info page - for Deposit terms of sale.
Care when you get home.
Once you receive your sheep off the transport it is recommended by us you place them into a quarantine paddock and keep them separate from any other sheep you may own for up to a month. The sheep will need time to adjust after their trip. It is recommended to consider re worming your sheep within a week after delivery to cover them for any parasites they may have picked up during transport. The sheep will need time to adjust to your water and the new feeding program you may wish to implement.
We feed steam cut Oaten chaff mix with Thompson and Redwood Lamb Pellets twice a day plus ad lib hay
(Meadow hay grown on the property)
