Shetland Sheep – Heritage, Hardiness & Charm

Our Shetland sheep are a heritage breed from the Shetland Isles of Scotland, treasured for their dual-purpose value: exceptional wool and flavorful, tender meat. These small, hardy sheep thrive on pasture, require minimal upkeep, and are well-suited for regenerative and small-scale farming.

Known for their strong maternal instincts, Shetland ewes are attentive mothers and excellent lambers. Their fine, soft fleece comes in a wide array of natural colors, beloved by handspinners, knitters, and fiber artists for everything from delicate shawls to felted goods.

With their gentle disposition, versatility, and low-maintenance nature, Shetlands are a practical and rewarding addition to any homestead or heritage flock.
