I will be drastically reducing my flock due to my husband's illness. He won't be able to go back to work for quite a while, so finances will be tight and he won't be able to help me with wrangling the sheep or bales anymore.
It's been very tough deciding to let my breeding lines go, but I will retain four BFL ewe lambs, 3 Shetland ewes and two ewe lambs, so I'll be ready to pick up again when things settle down.
I will try to get photos today of the individuals for sale. But here is the list of what I've got to sell:
$200 each on the ewes and ram lambs. I am willing to work creatively if needed to get these sheep into good homes.

Fall and Winter Shedule 2024-2025
Things are shaping up to be a busy fall show and class schedule! First up is Unplugged at North House Folk School in Grand Marais, MN Sep...
Becky, So unhappy to read about your troubles. Take care of yourself, so you can be able to care for your hubby. Do any of your older girls have polled lines? I have one girl from Juliann, but I could use another one.
ReplyDeleteThanks Sharrie. Yes, I've been breeding for polled since 2007. All of the Shetland ewes listed should be poll carriers and some could even be full polls. Kimberwood Harrison has small button scurs and River Oaks Greyson had snail scurs. Sommarang Hansel and Little Red Oak Ash are smooth polled.
ReplyDeleteThanks, I'll take another look at the list. How is the temperament on the girls? The ewe I got from Juliann is soooo spooky. If I get another one, it has to be user friendly!!!
ReplyDeleteI wish I had room for some of your poll-carrier girls! If the timing had been different, I very well may have had Garrett bring me back one or two, although I am very happy with the ones I got. I'm so glad you are able to keep a few, and will pray the others all find wonderful homes to continue your hard work.
ReplyDeleteThanks Michelle,I hope to breed 2-3 Shetlands to Hansel this fall. I just can't imagine NO lambs in 2012 and Shetlands are such easy lambers.
ReplyDeleteSharrie, Cleo, Darla, Ginger and Minnie are very friendly girls. Mia and Meggie haven't warmed up to me yet. I think I'll get some animal crackers and see if I can bring them around. Freya is still a little shy, but she accepts chin scratches.
