Silveraurora 7948 W. Sunset Ave Wasilla AK United States 99654 907 373-2687 Cellular 000-0000 Livestock Dealers Category Shetland sheep are often thought of as miniature sheep but they are not actually miniatures at all. Shetlands are a primitive, very small breed originating in the Shetland Islands of Great Britain. The original breeding stock for North America was first imported into Canada where it went into quarantine for a number of years before the US would allow importation of these animals. A number made their way into Alaska some years ago, but that herd was dispersed completely by 2005. A few of my ewes come from the orginal herd shipped to Alaska with others coming from different locations in the US. They are a fabulous small variety of sheep with admirable hardiness and longevity as well as some very affectionate personalities. They have a famous and wonderful wool in colors certainly worth carding, spinning, and using for making fine woolen products! They can micron as low as 20, with 22-26 being the norm, and come in all colors. For those who would like to keep a small breed on their farm, the Shetland is a wonderful breed to consider! Their naturally short, fluke tail also means no tail docking. The ewes generally are naturally polled with only the rams having horns, another good plus. Registered weaned lambs will be $160 -$220 depending on quality.
