THE ORGANIC TRUTH

'Non organic grapes can be subject to up to sixteen different pesticides and chemicals'

Mandy- Vineyard Owner

New miniature sheep breeding

Our son John has recently imported a Southdown Babydoll Ram from Australia, it landed in March and he plans to cross the ram with specially chosen ewes to eventually produce miniature sheep for the vineyard!

In our quest to get the tractor off the vineyard, we will soon start the process of fencing around some of the vines to trial the miniature sheep.

Babydolls are very, cute and grow between 45 - 60cm, approximately 10cm shorter than standard sheep.  They are known for their teddy bear look and permanent smile.

Hi,

I am looking for some babydoll sheep to import from Aus. Can you assist me to get to the breeders in Aus where you got your babydoll from? I am a viticulturist from South Africa and also need to get the tractor out of the vineyards! We are framing biodynamical and are looking for better more sustainblr farming methods.

Looking forward hearing from you.
