I raise Registered Shetland Sheep. I would love to visit with other people that raise sheep, especially Shetland Sheep.

I am interested in sheep for our little farm. I am just doing some primary research now. I am torn between alpaca's and sheep although there's nothing that says I can't do both. I am interested in it mostly for wool for spinning but apparently lamb meat is in demand as well.

Any resources I should check out?

Thanks

Border Leicester is what mine are crossed with. One is black the other white. Jack is bigger then Jill, and I do like the white, Jacks wool, a bit more then then black. His has a crimp to the wool, as Jills is more a curl. She is also changing color a bit. Lets see they are 2 years old I think now.

Michele what are your shetlands crossed with? I crossed some of mine this year with other good wool producers. Had the best lambing season that I ever have. I wish I knew someone wanting to start raising shetlands, or wanting more sheep. I would sell some of my pets to them at a very good price. My flock has grown larger than I want to try to care for. I have some beautiful little shetland ewe lambs that I would like to go to a good home instead of being slaughtered. I also have 2 registered shetland lambs that are out of show stock and would make great rams for someone. Let me know if anyone is interested.
