Shetland Flock- Page 2 |
|
|
|
These are more photos of our flock of Shetland sheep. As I am going from oldest to youngest, these will be our middle-aged sheep. |

This is Jocko. Tom and I drove in the middle of winter (and a snowstorm to boot!) to Montana to pick up Jocko from Bitterroot Ranch. He has been a great breeding ram, producing gorgeous lambs, many with modified colors including mioget. He himself has a lovely fleece and is usually my favorite each spring. I hope he can keep going strong in his middle-age. |

This is Jenny, a katmoget ewe I purchased from Windy Valley in Ellensburg. She has lovely fine fleece and has made several katmoget lambs. This year she produced triplet ewe lambs, one of which is a mioget katmoget ewe lamb that I am keeping as a replacement ewe. Jenny may have an early retirement. |

This is Lou, a wether born on our farm in 2002. He was named after both Lou Pinella (Mariners' skipper at the time) and Louie, Louie. He make gorgeous fawn fleeces every year for me, so we are both happy, I think. |

This is Daphnie, I purchased her from Jan Dodge as a horned ewe that carries spots. She has a lovely fleece and has produced lovely lambs which have a tendency to fade like her. She may be retiring too at age 7.5, having produced lovely twin ewe lambs for us this year, Dinah and Dixie. |

Suzette is out of my all time favorite ewe Babette who is no longer with us. I keep her because she and her fleece remind me of Babette. Suzette had birth difficulties so I do not breed her anymore. |

Miss Lizzie was conceived the day I met my husband Tom. I know this because I dropped her mother off at Ian Belisle's farm in Maple Falls just before our first date and she was born exactly 5 months later. I sold her to Kim Kerley but thought better of it and bought her back. So she's here as a living momento of my first date with Tom. |

Hansel is a wether I kept because he did not sell as a lamb. He does make gorgeous fawn fleeces but is a little difficult to manage- he is terrified of people.

Logan is a wether born in 2002. I keep him around because her makes gorgeous moorit fleeces for me. |
