They Are All Here!

Yes, they have all arrived. They all arrived several weeks ago, but I haven't had the time to post pictures! I really lucked out, I got 6 ewe lambs and 2 ram lambs... 8 lambs total! Not a bad start to my first year of lambing. I am really pleased with Lil' Country Beetlejuice's offspring. 6 out of the 8 lambs were his.
   Bar beat Rose; Bar had her lambs first!

Moss Rose: 1 Ewe (Daisy)  1 Ram (Pete Moss)
Underhill Bar: 2 Ewes (Budgie) (Jasmine)
Davina: 2 Ewes (Black Beauty) (Velvet)
Alberta: 1 Ewe 1 Ram (Martina) (Albert)

   I think Martina, Pete Moss, and Albert are going to fade. I'm not 100% about Pete Moss. He may stay the color he is.  I do not think the others will. Anyways, here are pictures! (Do not yet have good pictures of Daisy. Daisy is a solid moorit. She is friendly)

(Lil' Country Moss Rose x Lil' Country Beetlejuice) This is Pete Moss. He is for sale, asking $75 registered. (Daisy is in the background)
 
(Underhill Bar x Lil' Country Beetlejuice) This is Jasmine. She is a little looker.
 
(Underhill Bar x Lil' Country Beetlejuice) This is Budgie. At first I thought she was going to fade, but I got a good look at her today and I don't think she will.

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!:)

Updated Sales (Oct. 21, 2013)

I have decided to sell my current ram and one of my ewes, Davina. LostLakeFarm Davina Fletcher Magnolia x BluffCountry Cappucino Moorit. Born in 2006. She is currently being exposed to Three Creeks Tank. Great mother, no problems lambing since I've owned her. Sold as is (No promises that she is bred, but she has been exposed to ram) Will be ready to go middle of Novemer.  $100 Three Creeks Tank-- BEAUTIFUL dark brown scurred gulmoget ram lamb. He is by Caulfield Horatio out of Three Creeks Sinead. He has what I believe to be an intermediate fleece.  Tank will be ready to sell by the middle of November. I'm asking  $75  for him.  If you are interested in the pair, I will sell them for  $150.  Davina is not related to Tank, but the lambs that she will be having in the spring are. If interested, please look at my terms of sale. Email lorrie.killion@aol.com for more information on these sheep!

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
