Shetlands are a small, primitive
or "unimproved" breed of sheep. Like Dorper sheep, they are known
for their hardiness, good mothering and lambing, adaptability and being
able to do well under harsh conditions.
Shetlands are very easy to care for. Their small size makes them easy
to handle and they don't eat as much as larger breeds. They are born with
short, fluke-shaped tails so no docking is required.
Our Shetlands are all very friendly and each one has a name. They love
to be petted and will wag their tails when they are happy.
In our Shetland breeding program, our goal is to produce sheep with good
conformation, a wide range of fleece types, colours and markings, and
with friendly, calm personalities. |
