Millie has adopted my bottle lamb this morning boy do I love her.

She is one of my older ewes and I almost sold her this spring I am sure glad that didn't work out now.

Lulu lost her mom just after she was born and has been a bottle baby for almost two weeks.

I was just in a yarn swap called Natures bounty; this was the first part of the exchange, my first attempt at alpaca spinning. Now I send ½ of the yarn to the next exchange partner. It was a little different than my wool but it was fun.

Sheep Information
They are small and easy to handle
They are hardy and require less pasture and feed than larger breeds
They are easy lambers, mine have mostly had twins
Shetland tails are naturally short so they don't need docking
Sheep come in a variety of natural colors
Their wool is wonderful to spin, you can use for fine lace or hardy outer ware
The meat is mild
Best of all my grandchildren love to help me with the sheep
