Hi...I'm from Indonesia, I'm building a miniature sheep and goat educational tour, can you help me especially I want to get myotonic goats to send to my farm? please help me 🙏
I truly love your videos, I'm 65 years old and when I watch your videos I learn something new and interesting. They go to show that no matter the age you can still learn something new😊❤
Those are some great looking 🐑. It was interesting listening to that lady talk about the different breeds. Prayers for your family in Africa. GOD BLESS Y'ALL.
What a beautiful addition to the farm. Can't wait to see the future babies. I know that they will be absolutely adorable. Thanks for sharing this informative video. Stay happy, healthy, hydrated and safe. May God continue to bless you and your family.
Oh wow..these are the most adorable sheep. I just love them. I'm also loving your channel..thanks for sharing. God Bless your family and prayers for those traveling to Africa. ❤🙏
Wonderful video. Minstral for one of the chocolate coloured ones. There’s a chocolate. Brand in 🇬🇧 called Minstrals and of course who doesn’t remember the black and white minstral shows. Or call one Jolson 😂
They are so cute. I don’t understand how it’s quarantined if they are nose to nose with the other sheep. Just curious? You should name the little spotted one Dash.🤣
Good question! We’re mostly just monitoring their “droppings” for parasites and keeping them confined so we can check them daily for overall health. If we let them out with all the others it’s too hard to catch them everyday.
Thank you for this video. I understand it’s a year old, but really cool. I am currently trying to start my baby doll sheep herd, hopefully in the spring of next year. I’m also out of Oklahoma Kirstie learn about this breed.
It's funny that you have this video, I have always been interested in the Baby dolls sheep, but now you got my interest in the Harlequin sheep now I would like to learn more about them...I have meant your dad once in a sale barn and spoke to him we talked about long horns.
@@PorterValleyRanch I was thinking that I hauled some long horn show stock once, I use to haul show stock all over the country mostly horses but sometimes other animals of some sort.
Beautiful sheep, I’m a new subscriber and wondering if you’ve considered doing a tutorial for newbies who are considering getting sheep? Pros and cons and what to expect with sheep? Kind of like this one with what is needed for birthing? I’m still researching your old vlogs. Let me know if you already have one please.
This is awesome! I’m in NE Oklahoma and I grew up on a farm raising Southdowns. (I also showed lambs)As an adult, I have been searching for them in my area-non existent. A lot has changed w them in the last 40+ years. We also had Suffolks which I wasn’t a fan of
@@PorterValleyRanch I do know that some have tried sheep and liked goats better so they changed over. Your new sheep are going to be popular I think. By the way not a farmer just love seeing the families and animals. I started watching these types of videos when I dropped facebook. Like the channels much better.
@@PorterValleyRanch yes I think they have the most beautiful faces and there fleece is thick and soft love the colours and spots. Enjoyed your vlog watching from Queensland Australia thanks for sharing very interesting ❤️❤️🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺👍👍
Humm.. just off the top of my head how about spit fire because she's a little spitfire. Or pepper because she a spicy little thing, or staying with the British theme how about cheeky? She an amusing playful little thing. That all I got at the moment. Can't wait the hear the names you've chosen for the 4 of them. Much love from So.Cal.💟
8:45, she mentions genetics and outcrossing. I would purchase from her and not worry about inbreeding, if she is outcrossing the COI in her stock is low and her animals are healthy. She is developing the breed and is thinking about the future of the breed.

The sheep are adorable 🥰 the video was very informative.
Thank you!
Thank you for sharing this information. I didn't know about the different breeds of sheep. God bless you all 🙏❤🙏😊
Welcome! We raise both Babydolls & Harlequins

Love these ! So adorable!!
Thanks!
Wonderful video. Minstral for one of the chocolate coloured ones. There’s a chocolate. Brand in 🇬🇧 called Minstrals and of course who doesn’t remember the black and white minstral shows. Or call one Jolson 😂
Great suggestion! We’ll have to save that name for our next black babydoll sheep, we’ve been naming all the Babydolls “British” names
They are so cute. I don’t understand how it’s quarantined if they are nose to nose with the other sheep. Just curious? You should name the little spotted one Dash.🤣
Good question!
We’re mostly just monitoring their “droppings” for parasites and keeping them confined so we can check them daily for overall health. If we let them out with all the others it’s too hard to catch them everyday.
Very informative video. We’re currently looking for babydoll ewes
If you’re looking for breeding age they are hard to find right now!
We’ll keep our eye out and let you know if we hear of any available in the area.
@@PorterValleyRanch we’re looking for 2021 ewes and working on getting on a list for 2 or 3 in the spring 2022.
How about Luna “lunatic” for the runaway one 😂. My dog is called that for the same reason. Rotfl 🤣
Yes 😂 Love It
Thank you for this video. I understand it’s a year old, but really cool. I am currently trying to start my baby doll sheep herd, hopefully in the spring of next year. I’m also out of Oklahoma Kirstie learn about this breed.
Great! We’ve got a few lambs left or could help point you in the right direction.
Check out our website for available and email.
How cute are these sheep, you will have some cute babies in the future.
Yes! ❤️
Hello from Minnesota. Great information!
Thanks Ricky
It's funny that you have this video, I have always been interested in the Baby dolls sheep, but now you got my interest in the Harlequin sheep now I would like to learn more about them...I have meant your dad once in a sale barn and spoke to him we talked about long horns.
We have both! Harlequins are the “next big thing” but Babydolls are a sure bet right now.
Yes! We raised and showed Texas Longhorns growing up.
@@PorterValleyRanch I was thinking that I hauled some long horn show stock once, I use to haul show stock all over the country mostly horses but sometimes other animals of some sort.
We partnered with a guy named Don King from Bartlesville. You might have worked for him at some point.

Welcome to PVR!
Yes, great idea, we’ve talked about it and hope to do so soon.

That’s awesome!
Yes, they went from everywhere to scarce in just the last 20 years.
Josh had his work cut out for him with Cruiser, made me dizzy lol. God bless stay safe until the next video 😍
😂🤣😂
so much for quarantining.
😂 right!? We caught her and put her up, they’ll stay isolated for 2 weeks.
I am following alot of the channels that were at the Oklahoma meetup. Are you the only one specializing in sheep. Most of the others I see goats.
I can’t think of any others who talk about sheep, lots of goats, pigs and alpacas.
@@PorterValleyRanch I do know that some have tried sheep and liked goats better so they changed over. Your new sheep are going to be popular I think. By the way not a farmer just love seeing the families and animals. I started watching these types of videos when I dropped facebook. Like the channels much better.
We raise both, they each have their own benefits and struggles 😂
Thanks so much for watching Mary!
Cool sheep 🇦🇺🇦🇺❤️❤️👍👍
Thanks! Babydolls originated in the UK, known as Olde English Southdowns
@@PorterValleyRanch yes I think they have the most beautiful faces and there fleece is thick and soft love the colours and spots. Enjoyed your vlog watching from Queensland Australia thanks for sharing very interesting ❤️❤️🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺👍👍
@@maxinekelly8417 Thanks Maxine. We appreciate your kind words and support!
He's not a Derrik, she's a Darcy.
😂 Yep, that sounds better
Humm.. just off the top of my head how about spit fire because she's a little spitfire. Or pepper because she a spicy little thing, or staying with the British theme how about cheeky? She an amusing playful little thing. That all I got at the moment. Can't wait the hear the names you've chosen for the 4 of them. Much love from So.Cal.💟
Great suggestion - we already have a Pepper.
They’re fun little animals
Try a shepherds crook, they really work great
We’ve got one for the big guys!
So did you breed this year? I have babydolls and I've thought about harlequins.
Yes! We’ve got Babydoll and Harlequin lambs coming April-June.
@@PorterValleyRanch yay!!! It's so exciting. This is my second year of lambing. I am in Oklahoma, too.
@@brittanyparker1479 oh fun! Well good luck to you this year!
I have a question so if I purchase a babydoll harlequin can eventually he be registered ?
Only if parents are registered and you have proof.
8:45, she mentions genetics and outcrossing. I would purchase from her and not worry about inbreeding, if she is outcrossing the COI in her stock is low and her animals are healthy. She is developing the breed and is thinking about the future of the breed.
The spirited one that ran off could be named Gypsy.
Love that!
How or where can I buy some of these sheep? They are too cute
Email us! We’ll have lambs in the Spring or we can point you in the right direction if you’re looking for adult/breeding age stock.
@@PorterValleyRanch what’s your email?
@@skylinemusik1 portervalleyranch@gmail
I still love Shirley Temple for the white one
Good call, she’s got the curls
There beautiful
Good Simple Living out of Idaho raises that breed if sheep
Yes, they have Babydoll Southdowns
To dam cute so are babydoll sheep also
Thanks!
Thay are absolutely adorable and also prayers 🙏 for your family members in Africa may God Bless and keep you all Safe💞🙏
Thank you & Thank you!
