Hello all! This is my new blog! This blog will be dedicated to give you news about my Shetland herd.
My goals as a Shetland breeder:
(1) Ewes with good mothering instinct and produce enough milk for their young.
(2) I want polled (unable to grow horns) rams and ewes in my flock.
(3) Soft fleeces! This is a must! I like an intermediate and kindly fleece. I personally do not care for the double coated fleeces, but each to his own.
(4) Eventually, I would like to get Shetlands with spotted fleeces. I find them very attractive! Who doesn't like spotted animals?
(5) I do not want my sheep to be BIG. Some people breed them up for the show ring, but I like them as the small breed they are.
I hope you enjoy this blog!:)
