About Shetland Sheep
An iron age sheep with a heart of gold. Shetland sheep have lived for over 1,000 years on the Shetland islands, likely decended from Scandinavian ancestry. This primitive breed is known for retaining it's hardiness, mothering ability, roo-ing, as well as wagging it's tail when happy.
Prized for it's soft, fine wool, Shetland sheep are small in size, fine boned, slow growing, diverse in colors making it ideal for small farms. Most ewes are polled and Rams generally have spiraled horns. For more information, check out:

About Shetland Sheep Wool
The natural properties of wool, are that it insulates, wicks away moisture, and is renewable, sheep produce wool yearly, for as long as they live. By increasing our use of wool(& natural) fibers we may lessen our dependence on synthetics, and therefore, help our environment as a result.
Shetland wool, ranges from 10-20 microns(as soft as cashmere) to 25-30 microns on the back of the legs where the coarser wool resides. There are 11 primary colors with different gradations, and 30 registered patterns! Shetland's fleece range are generally divided into two groups, from a long, wavy "primitive" type with a double coat, to a shorter "English" style, that is a single coat, with high crimp. Prized by hand spinners, the high quality wool is among the finest of any sheep, and can be spun to a very fine diameter.

About Our Breeding Program
Hearty, long-lived, productive livestock, we select with a critical eye the traits that not only produce the best wool and milk, but also the bonestructure that can withstand the rigors of a long productive life with ease. Our rams, even more so, are required to be mild mannered, and even tempered to breed, no butting allowed.
