Our Shetland Sheep

On February 8, 2020 one of our ewes Ruby gave birth to twin little ewes. These two little ones are very sweet and gentle.



 One is a Musket Katmoget and the other is a Moorit Krunget. That will most likely change over the next several weeks.




 These two were a complete surprise to us for a couple of reasons. 
This is early for Shetlands to lamb. Normally they lamb in March and April. Also Ruby did not look to be pregnant. 




Ruby is doing a wonderful job with both of these little ones. She is very attentive and protective. She keeps a close eye on her lambs and will call them back if they stray too far from her. 




We have a list of names for this years lambs, both for ram lambs and ewe lambs. We welcome any name suggestions you may have. If you wish to suggest any names or name themes leave it in the comment section of this post.
