Baby Dolls are now resident of New Zealand, at Yealands Vineyard

The day was a beautiful day here, gorgeous sunny, a little bit of heat, been a real delight after the wet weather we have been having.
The sheep just seemed to know they were to take an adventure.
As we set up the loading ramp, and trailers in place, the sheep gathered and watched, and when it was time, they all scooted in, as if to say, lets go, we are ready.
The plane was delayed only slightly, but we had plenty of notice of this, so we delayed the loading.
The weather though in NZ was shocking over night, which also meant a delay when they arrived, but it was not for long, and they should now be on the beautiful green grass of home...Yealand estate in the South Island of NZ.

'We Love Baby Doll Sheep!!!!!!

Last day for the Baby Doll Sheep, they are just so cute, they are like mischievous elves, sticking together, they have so much charachter in their faces, They have been great to look after, and we just love them.
Today is their last day here, a huge clean up today, (very different to alpacas), and AQIS will come at 10am this morning, and give permission for us to load.
How exciting for Yealands Estate in New Zealand, a Vineyard, and award winning Wine producer.
Congratulations to both Linda Pwer and her husband in Australia, and Peter & Diane from yealands.
Ed will pick these guys up tomorrow morning.'Keenan will be there as Importer to accept the sheep, and then they will be off to the South islamd.

baby doll sheep have arrived

Linda and Rob Power of ROblin Baby dolls, delivered today some of their beautiful baby doll sheep, they are just georgeous, they are on their way to New Zealand.

Apparantly they are from the pure southdown sheep that were imported in the 170o's to Australia.

The Southdown breed were bred to be a bigger sheep over the many years, whilst these sheep have been kept to the original pedigree with no crossbreeding with other sheep breeds.

Very rare sheep, in Australia, and are often used to keep Orchards and Vineyards clean, as they are too small to damage the lower lims of trees and vines.

They are just georgeous.
