Lamb Post #1

   Just as I predicted, Alberta and Davina were the first to lamb! They did a great job! I haven't come up with names for the lambs yet, I need to start! So far I have got 3 ewes and 1 ram lamb... I couldn't ask for anything better! The ram is out of Alberta, so it will be polled or scurred, no horns will be on him. He is for sale, I will not be keeping him, if anyone is interested.

   Here are some pictures of the lambs. Hope you enjoy!

(Lil'Country Alberta x Lil'Country Beetlejuice) Twin ewe Lamb. Amazing ringlets in her lil fleece! It reminds me of her grandmother (Bar).
 
And finally, the little ram lamb! (Lil'Country Alberta x Lil'Country Beetlejuice) He's a little looker!
 
Here is a picture of the ram laying on Alberta. Soooo cute!

It's That Time of the Year!

   Lambing has started for the year! So far I have gotten a ewe and a ram lamb from Davina. They are simply darling! However, I have already sold them. I have sold the lambs, Davina, and Tank to a person that is wanting to get started with sheep. So, ram hunting once more. All of my ewes are expecting, looking forward to what is to come in lambing 2014!                                                                        Ram lamb ewe lamb As you can see, I got a gullie ewe, just like I wanted. But, I decided I would part with her. ewe

Four Fewer?

   I was able to sell four of my Shetlands, my two ram lambs from this spring, Martina and Alberta, a couple of my ewes. I hadn't planned on selling Alberta, and I had Martina listed for sale, but I really didn't need to sell either them. But, these were the two I was willing to let go. This leaves me with nine sheep, eight ewes and a ram... four fewer.    Since I am selling Pete Moss, I will be breeding Davina to Tank. This will probably be the last lambing season I will keep Davina, I will most likely sell her after she lambs. She is getting up in age , and she isn't my finest fleeced ewe. She isn't old, but she is getting there. I have also entertained the idea of selling Tank after this coming spring. If I were to get a Gullie ewe from him out of Moss Rose, I would be more than happy to sell him. I would hope for a Gullie from Moss Rose, and not my other ewes, as she is my best fleeced mature ewe.    It sure seems li...

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!:)
