2011 Lambs & Sales List

Now relocated near Union, Michigan... The first Michigan Locksley lambs have arrived! Since I have my hands full with major renovation to my new home, all of this year's lambs are for sale. $50 non-refundable deposit will reserve a lamb- to be picked up at the time of weaning.. The parents of these lambs are my best/favorites out of raising Shetlands for 12 years (taking a couple yrs off to get re-established). I started out with a solid foundation in conformation, fiber and horns and added spotted genetics. All of these lambs carry spots if not spotted themselves. I raise smaller sized Shetlands with horned ram genetics- primarily from US (1980's Dailley import) bloodlines.. I do have a little UK bloodlines but I tend not to like the larger build and smaller horns, so all of my sheep are "domestic" US in looks. They are healthy, hardy, and great moms. My flock has been closed for at least three years now since I've been between places and finally got the sheep settled on my place this year. I didn't go into alot of detail with the list below- email me at Locksleyfields@gmail.com for more information or photos. More photos also on the post below.
Prices include registrations transfered to buyer.
