5 Shetland & 4 Finnish Landrace Sheep make their home with us...Fili is a rare Finn gelding that survived the procedure long ago and has come to live with us. His son Kili is always by his side...

They are very gentle natured...

 What would two stressful days be without a treat of the beloved Alfalfa pellets?

All Shorn and Looking for a Treat

 

 I shear using a technique called the Blanket & leave about an inch of fleece on them.

Don't want them getting sunburned or cold when the weather changes.
