Surprise! Our surprise new additions are here - Daffodil (pictured) and Iris! Daffodil and Iris are Shetland sheep and very friendly.
Shetland are a small, fine-wooled breed of sheep originating from the
Shetland Islands of Scotland. They were imported into Canada in the 1980s and have since become a sought after breed in the United States as well. Shetland sheep are small and slow-growing compared to commercial breeds.
As a breed they have retained many of their primitive survival instincts, so care for these sheep is much easier than most other breeds. Shetlands are hardy, thrifty, easy lambers, adaptable, and long-lived. They are friendly toward people and will come running when you call them. As a show of appreciation for human affection they wag their tail when you pet and scratch them.
Stop by and visit our sheep soon!
