I am selling "Lady Gaga" - a 3/4 Babydoll Southdown x 1/4 Montadale ewe born in 2012.
She's in this lambing thread: http://www.backyardherds.com/threads/sheepgirls-2012-lambing-thread.15649/page-10
She did have flystrike as a lamb, however it has had no effect on her breeding/lambing.
She didn't breed her first fall (though her twin sister did) but she lambed in 2014 with a single ram (rejected) and in 2015 with twin ewes (rejected/confused -- then adopted by her twin sister without me asking her). This is why I'm selling her. She's not a very attentive momma, would probably do well in a farm where ewes are jugged (I don't do that here anymore as I don't have a jug or other pen). She did momma baa to her babies this year, so she seems interested in her babies, but she would do better in a more hands-on lambing environment. However, she's a very milky ewe, I got 10 oz out of one half when I was milking her for colostrum.
I haven't dewormed her ever, nor her twin sister. She has a COI of 25% (out of a twin sibling breeding), however that hasn't stopped her from being a normal sheep.
Can go as a pet or a breeding ewe for someone who is more hands-on at lambing than I am or someone who wants a ewe to produce bottle babies.
She is 3/4 Babydoll and looks full. She's just a tad bit taller than a purebred (maybe an inch or two), but she doesn't get woolblind and she stays in condition fairly well. I was hoping she would raise babies this year so she would lose some weight. So she's fat as a tick still. Cute sheep that has cute babies. I will post pics later of her and her babies she's produced.
