Genetics and Genetic Diversity   ...The Keys to Our Success
  • Generally we maintain our flock at around 65 breeding ewes, with a ram flock of over a dozen, so it is easy to put together a quality starter flock with genetic diversity.
  • Our sheep come from over 12 states and provinces, as well as from UK genetics, through AI.
  • A large portion of the flock is directly from the Dailley farm and thus representative of the 'original' Shetlands in North America.
  • Through selective breeding we are more able to predictably get the usual colours that so many of our customers want. Ask about our modified colour breeding program.
  • Dramatically spotted lambs are common at lambing time, and are always a delight to see.
  • About 25% of the flock is made up of rare gulmoget patterned Shetlands. We have gulmogets in all colours, and with spotting.
  • We are always adding rarer genetics to the flock.
  • We are a 'work in progress'.

Come for a visit. Our sheep sell themselves!
