Shetland Sheep - Constance

Constance will be 3 this year, she is mother to Adrianna and the owner of one of my favorite fleeces ever. I hate to part with her, but s she doesn't have what I am breeding for in the way of color. I want to keep either her or her mother, Colleen, or grandma Fiona , but I can't decide :-( so they are all for sale, and I'll keep the one that is left :-)

Connie's fleece is long, fine and curly, something I have heard described as "helical crimp", the picture shows a little of what I'm talking about :-) She actually sparkles in the sun after shearing because of the luster of her fleece :-) She is a true mioget, as well as a "grey" meaning that instead of brown and white fibers like your standard musket, she has white and GOLD :-) as a lamb she was this beautiful "yellow" brown, and then did the "Ag fade" :-) Genotype Ag/Aa Bb/Bb SS/S? modified it's possible that she carries spotting, as her parents do, but we have to do more breeding to find out. $300

Shetland Sheep - Prelude

Prelude had decided we were NOT going to take her picture :-) My brother Sardis was pretty tickled that he finally got her to stand still. She is last year's lamb, out of Selah by Duncan , twin to Harmony. Her fleece is long and fine, in a color I can only describe as shaela, though it is "more" modified than any of the others I have. She may end up as an emsket, but it's not a "grey", with dark and white hairs, but a true grey, as the individual fibers are varying shades of black/pewter. Her genotype is Aa/Aa BB/Bb SS/S? modified. She may carry spots, as both her parents do, and her twin is spotted, but that remains to be seen. I plan on keeping her to see what she does :-) Not for Sale

Shetland Sheep - Magdelene

Magdelene didn't want to stand still to get her picture taken, hence the look on her face :-) her fleece is med length, and extra fine, so fine that it tends to collect chaff :-( but beautiful none the less ;-) she keeps alot cleaner outside :-) Maggie is 2, and should be lambing for the first time this year. She was born black with a small head spot, which has shrunk, but is still there. She has since shown us that she is modified, Shaela actually, which doesn't surprise me, seeing that her mom's twin, and her dad's mom were both mioget :-) Genotype Aa/Aa BB/Bb Ss/Ss modified. I am only parting with this one because I have plenty of Shaelas. Otherwise I'd certainly keep her, as her fleece is gorgeous. :-) $300

Shetland Sheep - Olivia

Olivia is a true black, though a dirty one :-) She is one of those that collects dirt, no matter what you do. Her fleece is very soft, and extra fine, just perfect for catching chaff ;-) She will be 2, and should be lambing for the first time this year. I'm excited to see what we get out if her :-) She was born with a small head spot, but it has since dissapeared, I'm not at all sure what that means..... Sooo... Tentative Genotype :-) Aa/Aa BB/Bb SS?/Ss I will be keeping this one, sorry :-) I might part with some of her babies though ;-)

Shetland Sheep - Eclair

Eclair is 2, and should lamb for the first time this year. She had some body splashing as a lamb, but all that's visible anymore is her face spots. She is grey, but not a real light grey, more of a blue, and her fleece is soft and med-long. Genotype Ag/Aa BB/Bb Ss/Ss She may carry the modifier, as her mother and father have thrown mioget, and both of her grandmothers were mioget. Eclair is a beautiful ewe, and one I would love to keep. She would have alot to add to any flock. $400

Shetland Sheep - Shadow

Shadow is 2, and should be lambing for the first time this year. The picture shows her as black, but in reality she is a dark shaela, like her mom, not just grey, but a modified black, with silver streaks. As she gets older there will be a little more silver, like an older colored lady's hair, beautiful! her fleece is shorter, and extremely fine, almost merino-like. Genotype Aa/Aa BB/B? Ss/Ss with the modifier :-) she has a small head spot, but carries the potential for HST (head/socks/tail) or "paint splatter" type spotting. Her daddy's horns were gorgeous too :-) Not For Sale

Shetland Sheep - Adrianna

Adrianne, Out of Constance by Stuart. Yes, this was brother/sister, at least on daddy's side, but I was hoping for the solids, as her mom is Mioget, and we had lots of moorit in the background. what we got instead was a musket. She has a very long, beautiful fleece, as you can see, and it will probably end up light cream by the time she's grown. born 3/30/09 Genotype Ag/A? Bb/Bb SS/Ss? there are lots of spots in her background, her dad is a carrier, so she could be too, her mom is modified, and while I don't quite understand how that gene works yet, she probably carries that too :-) $200

Shetland Sheep - Kermit

Our beautiful ram, Kermit. These are are not the best pictures, the light was not very good, but they'll have to do :-) he's a Moorit Katmoget, and has the most gorgeous fleece, and is bred to most of our ewes. He is NOT for sale :-)
