I hope I can find someone that is wanting to start their own flock and could keep most of the ewes together and love them like I do. At the present time I have Shetlands and BFL and BFL crosses. I don't have the room or time to care for two flocks and keep rams for both flocks. So I have decided to try to find good homes for the Shetlands.
Lilly, registered, is a big pet, she throws beautiful babies with very nice wool. |
Lizzy and Miss Cinnamon resting in the shade. |
Miss Daisy, registered. |
Lucy, not registered, but a purebred shetland. |
Cinnamon, a wonderful, sweet spirit. She loves to eat slices of bread, animal crackers, or oatmeal cookies while she gets a good petting. She also talks to you and lets you know if something is not right with the girls.
Lizzy, is an older ewe but she is a sweetheart and has beautiful babies.
Buddy Boy, raised as a bottle lamb when his mother died after giving birth to twins. He is a wiether. Friendly and well behaved. Produces a lovely silver gray fleece with a slight tan to it. |
Bitsy, registered, not a big pet but she is a nice girl that has lovely babies without problems.
Daisy is going to be hard to part with. She is a lovely girl and she is registered. She has had two nice babies. |
See the nice conformation of this shetland ewe. |
Rambling Rose is Ebby's girl. She does have 1/4 BFL in her blood. She is not a big pet but has a lovely fleece and could be tamed easily. I will take more pictures of my shetlands and add them to this blog. Please email me at rocnbarc@cvalley.net if you are interested in any or all of these sheep. |
I understand where you are at. Two years ago i went through this process as well. Tears in my eyes when the chosen ones had left. Life goes on and the ewes I have keep throwing off offspring. It has been decided on her that after lambing season we shall reduce the flock to half the ewes i have at present. Yikes! Reason being Dearest health issues. the dairy is our main income. Sheep are my passion. I full get you on this one girl.BTW your pictures are precious.
ReplyDeleteI am going to post the pattern for the hat I knit on my blog later this week. I have already put the instructions on but need the school computer to get the picture of it. I posted it for you.

Thank you Marlyn, I just mailed out everybody's hats yesterday...that pattern is so cute and looks like it would fit better than the pattern I have been using.
ReplyDeleteThanks again
