Here at Mountainspun Farm
we have enjoyed being owned by a wonderful flock of Shetland Sheep for about a decade now. These sheep is amazing! They are like little people in sheep suits! They are friendly,to the point of annoying sometimes! I go out to the pasture or barn where they are and I get pawed by so many who are struggling in the crowd around me to get petted. Much the way a dog will paw you for attention. They are all aware of their names and come when i call them. I have spoken to those with other breeds ( even some with same kind) and they speak of needing to halter train...not ours, I just call come follow me all over ! What a wonderfully self sufficient breed too, the mothers are do- it- them-selfers!

No assistance needing in lambing.
They are hearty too,
stay healthy and happy in the temps of VT winters.
My Rams are my babies too...
-Very sweet -
You know how folks
say never turn your back on a ram?
In over a decade, we have not had a shetland ram "ram" us.
My ewes and rams come running to me in the pasture -
they want me to get down low
and hug and pet them.
They love it! So do I!
