Ariel, or crazy eyes (as we lovingly nicknamed her) had twins (Ursula and Flounder) last night. Ursula is the all black one and the colorful one is Flounder. We have 2 more Shetland mommas due anytime.
The Shetland sheep are beginning their lambing. Shetland sheep are kept for their very fine wool, meat and their ability to clean up overgrown areas. Although Shetlands are small and slow-growing compared to commercial breeds, they are hardy, thrifty, easy lambers, adaptable and long-lived. We all adore the Shetlands and think of them as sweet members od the family. They wag their tails when we give them pets.
