Breeding and raising purebred Shetland sheep

10/31/2026

🎃Happy Halloween to everyone!🎃

As a little treat I thought I’d find all the spooky fits the Shetlands have had over the years!

I’m so proud of this young man. I’ve had the privilege of working with him for many years and am so proud of how far he has come!

Jim Scharlau Youth Award was presented to Neland Paul by Savannah Scharlau and Sheridan Strong.
This is an award decided on by the show committee for a youth that exemplifies traits MASS stands for : community, friendship, offering of help, commitment to the breed, respect, and a lot more.

Congrats to Neland on this award!

First fair in the books for the year! Couldn’t be prouder. Loaded up my two market sheep and 4 Shetlands and they all did very well. There were also 3 other Shetlands that I had bred in previous years be shown so it’s always good to see them come back in the ring.

We still have numerous registered rams available but we also have unregistered rams and ewes looking for pet and fiber homes. If anyone wants a lamb for butcher as well that is available as any unregistered that are unsold by November will be processed. Please let me know of any inquires on the lambs.

So much has been going on at the farm that I’ve been forgetting to post. From lambing season coming to an end to shearing beginning. It has been a wild ride. We ended lambing with 3 registered ewe lambs, 8 unregistered ewes, 4 registered ram lambs, and 7 unregistered ram lambs. I also have 2 meat sheep that I have been working with for county fair and I took them to there first show. Then I also took 2 of my Shetland moms and there lambs to two different events to talk about sheep and what we can use them for. Soon I will have a list of available lambs as well as some yearling rams. Until then enjoy the spam of crazy things happening at the farm!

Sasha ended our lambing season on Friday with twin girls. Sadly one of them isn’t going to well but the other is strong and healthy. Neland is excited about his first lambs.

Awoke this morning to a gorgeous single ram lamb from Missoula. Last year her lambs with both beautiful and did very well in the show ring so I’m hopeful for this guy as well.

So far we are at 8 total with 2 girls and 6 boys. Which is not exactly what I was hoping for but that’s the gamble of breeding animals. It’s looking like all of them are going to be available so if anyone catches your eye please reach out.

The lamb count made it to 7 after this morning.

On Wednesday Opal had an adorable set of twins one boy and one girl. They are doing fantastic!

Then this morning I found Mercedes licking off two beautiful ram lambs. I’m not exactly thrilled about the genders but what can one do. Will have better pictures once they are cleaned off and moving.

So far all the lambs are available so if anything catches your eye send me a message!
