Babydolls are a small stature breed with short snouts and wool covering most of their bodies including their face. Because of size and docile temperament, Babydoll Sheep have become increasingly popular with hobby farms and small acreage property owners. Porter Valley Ranch will have Registered Babydoll lambs available in Spring of 2023. Prices are $500 - $750 Email us for specific prices and waiting lists. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5eea04e2839cb11f3e924633/1609291944637-P68GRORSB5UM40XBLKOF/IMG_5248.jpeg Animals - Harlequin Sheep The Harlequin sheep as we know it today was developed by Kathleen Sterling, owner of Black Sheep Farm East in VA about 35 years ago. Harlequin Sheep are slightly larger than Babydolls, but they are highly sought after for their spotty colors and magnificent wool. Harlequin sheep are still extremely rare with less than 100 full blood sheep in the United States. An active breeding program with a progressive genetic code system is being used to bolster the breed. Porter Valley Ranch will have Babydoll lambs available in Spring of 2023. Prices range from $750-$1250 depending on generation scale, color and characteristics.

They are as loyal as they are beautiful, and at Porter Valley Ranch we think they are a perfect addition to any home or farm! These Aussie puppies come from an excellent set of parents with perfect color pairing, AKC registration, and carefully selected characteristics that adhere to the breed standards. The best part about this litter…they’re our sons! Zeke has been working with his school FFA advisor to purchase the parents and setup a business plan to sell these cute little fur balls so he can buy a car, gain valuable experiences, and hopefully enter competitions to gain college scholarships.

But these 2 are accustomed to going against the grain, forging their own path and beating the odds to success. Josh was a musician/graphic designer and Rachel was classical dancer with a Public Relations degree when they decided to give up their corporate jobs and start a small business in their hometown of Sapulpa Oklahoma. 15 years later they had grown their dance, gymnastics and fitness business into a successful business that performed all over their state and some areas of the country. That’s when Covid-19 hit and shut their business (and the world) down. With spare time and uncertainty of the future, they turned to self reliance and basic instincts to turn their 17 acre property into a functioning farm for goats, sheep, chicken and produce. As the fear of the virus faded, the Porter’s business was able to reopen, life began to get back to normal, but their passion for farming, ranching and gardening didn’t fade. They had found a new passion in hobby farming and they decided to share their journey with the world through social media. They now produce content for YouTube, Instagram, Facebook, their blog and various other publications as they learn, grow and thrive in their quest to cultivate the world around them and produce a better life for their family and future generations. https://www.portervalleyranch.com/homestead-documentary daily 0.75 2023-01-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5eea04e2839cb11f3e924633/98ab50cc-2257-4caf-9ace-77071ed879ef/Homestead+Doc.jpg https://www.portervalleyranch.com/sales daily 0.75 2024-04-25 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5eea04e2839cb11f3e924633/1916dc45-9bb0-4451-b329-236304deaf0d/IMG_4925.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5eea04e2839cb11f3e924633/1f9d58d2-e7a3-4b14-96d0-0eaa87e79fe4/IMG_5855.JPEG https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5eea04e2839cb11f3e924633/af885e71-9df2-44e6-b368-a182425b23d7/IMG_9037.jpg https://www.portervalleyranch.com/lambs daily 0.75 2025-02-04
