Please call or email me for shipping prices and shipping can be paid for separately from the fleece in PayPal. Colors: We have several lovely moorits, a white, a musket, and others for sale this year. Lots of interest in blacks and grays and not sure what we'll have left of those--most blacks and grays have been spoken for or at…
Please contact us by phone and/or email if you are interested in a particular lamb or a small flock. Lambs are still young and can change as they grow, however this lamb crop has the most potential for overall quality we have ever seen in our lambs at this age. It is a genetically diverse group of fine-fleeced Shetland lambs bred to be dispersed into small flocks for new breeders interested in breeding quality, pedigreed Shetlands, or to be sold individually to experienced Fine Fleeced Shetland Sheep Association breeders or those aspiring to that goal. If we do limited breedings…
Preg-testing Our Ewes We have only preg-tested our ewes once before, a few years ago. We had the same vet do it again this year because we sorted out the 7 ewes of breeding age among 4 ram lambs, each ram had 1-2 ewes in his breeding group. The ram lambs were old enough to breed, but we had one once that really was a late breeder, so we wanted to be sure all the ewes were pregnant, and, happily, they all were. We then started giving them a little supplemental grain for the last 2 months of so of…

After a huge snowstorm on Easter Sunday, the sun came out crisp and cold the following day and by about 10:30 am Monday, April 13, we had 2 ewes, Arabesque and Gussalyn, give birth to their lambs. Both were bred to GT Gamgee, our moorit gulmoget ram. Arabesque's ram lamb, Alfredo, carries both her katmoget and Gamgee's gulmoget, so he is dual patterned. He is looking good so far and could be quite useful to someone who has a lot of solid colored ewes and wants to introduce Katmoget and Gulmoget patterns into their flock. Gussalyn has a beautiful Ag…
OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERAOLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERAOLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA All our lambs we retained from 2019 become yearlings on their spring birthdays this year, and the yearlings we retained turn 2 years old on their spring birthdays in 2020. We cut a lock from midside over last rib every year on all our sheep so that we can grade each fleece accurately for FFSSA and sales once sheep are sheared. It is especially important to sample all yearlings when they are at least 22 months old so we can test midside samples to qualify them for permanent FFSSA fleece performance registration. All…
