Maple Ridge Shetlands

These are pictures of the second Shetland flock that I visited ... Maple Ridge Shetland Sheep Farm, NASSA flock # 2. Shots were taken on a wet, cold and drizzly day in late March.





One of my breeding goals is to maintain a flock of sheep that closely resemble sheep in these flocks. My assumption is that both Carole and Linda have worked to maintain the sheep that they imported.

Wow!
You know how many people would "poo poo" on the withers and gangly stages the younger sheep are going through? They have very nice wide front ends, too! And they look SMALL!
Isn't the 2011 AGM going to be at the Doane's farm? I'm definetely going to have to go.
