Since the North American Shetland Sheep Association (NASSA) website allocates only 10 slots per farm we will be using this blog site to show our additional sheep - starting with our 2017 lambs.
2017 Lambs
2017 Ram Coltrane
Sire: Mapleton Arcadius S35681 * Dam; Can Too Sky S32399
This year, we bred one of our own home-grown rams. Coltrane has a number of traits that we would like to see passed on: his magnificent wide spread horns, excellent conformation, a nice easy going personality, as well as long soft crimpy fleece. In fact his mother was awarded 3rd place in the 2015 Finger Lakes Fiber Festival Raw Fleece competition.
