Breeding Stock page has been updated to reflect changes in our breeding stock.  Micron results, links to pedigrees and progeny information is provided.  We still have a few left to micron test, will post results as soon as available.

I've opened a store on Etsy!  Etsy is like Ebay but offers only handmade items, and its not an auction, just a store.  Go directly to my store by hitting this link:  Jen's Store on Etsy for shetland roving, yarn and knit items made totally from scratch, by me!

We are in the midst of breeding season, all for sale sheep have been placed in their new homes.  Please check back often or send us an email to get on waiting list for 2009 lambs and breeding stock.
