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 - we started with our 2017& 2018 lambs; Here are our 2019 lambs - My cell: 312-613-0047
Somehow I managed to merge two of my blogs...
If the pictures of our 2019 lambs do not show up here , you can either
1) click on the little 'read more' tab at the end of the ram's description below
or
2) in the right hand column under blog archives click on '2019 lambs'
2019 Sires
We used two of our home grown rams for the 2019 lamb crop - D'Artagnan and Coltrane. We are very pleased with the outcome.
 |
| D'Artagnan sire: Ulysses S34431; dam: Natasha S34433 |
d’Artagnan
is a very
handsome
silver
grey ram. His
fleece is soft & lustrous. His first shearing lamb’s fleece was
awarded 3rd
place in the 2013 Finger Lakes Fiber Festival Fleece competition. He
also took 4rth place in the 2016 competition
His horns are widespread with a good curl. He has a particularly nice
personality, having inherited his mother's sweet nature.

Coltrane S46795
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, Sky, was awarded 3rd place in the 2015 Finger Lakes Fiber Festival Raw Fleece competition. |
