Seeking dedicated home for my best 4 Spotted Shetland Ewes.
They are my very favorite of my "keeper" ewes after raising Shetlands since 1999. Over the years I did a lot of research and I put together a flock of what I consider unique and beautiful bloodlines. My goal was to create a diverse spotted flock with a range of fleece length/type on animals with solid conformation, small size and horned rams. These 4 ewes tend to have medium to longer fleeces, with a nice handle. They tend to have large fleeces in relation to their smaller body size.
I am seeking a home for them with someone who is dedicated to preserving these bloodlines and intends to raise Shetlands long term. I believe that there are those who would like to see this type of Shetland disappear and I'm hopeful that there are those who will keep these bloodlines going.
I had hoped to do that myself, but I feel that at this time it may be best for the sheep and myself to find them a new home. I've been trying to make it work with limited space and no ram on the farm, but I have reached a point where I'm willing to admit I need to make a new plan.
Evangeline, Pandora, Morgan and Lumina are all quality ewes with great dispositions, in fact I would consider them to be great pets in addition to breeding stock. All four ewes have proven true to the breed in hardiness and great mothering ability.
See the 4 posts below for info and photos of the 4 ewes and some of their past lambs.
I have not posted a price.. I will let them go cheaper than I would sell these lines in the past for, but I'm not looking for a deal-seeker.. I'm looking for someone whose heart is in this. I would really prefer to not split up the group. If you are interested, email me and tell me about your flock and future plans!
