shetland sheep for sale

 

This year’s Shetland lambs are the product of my goals: to breed for super-fine fleece, and to breed for flashy lambs.  This year I had four breeding groups, incorporating two new rams along with yearling ewes and my very fine-fleece ewes (their second year here) . And what a result!  I also retained an outstanding ram lamb last year - and he is offered now as yearling rams.

You may reserve a lamb with a phone call or email, and it will be marked as "Reserved" and kept on hold for seven days to allow your nonrefundable deposit of 1/2 to arrive. The animal will then be listed as “On Deposit.” The balance is due prior to pick-up or delivery of the animal; lambs will be available to go to their new homes in late July/early August.  I give a discount of 10% for 3 - 4 animals; 15% for 5 or more animals. If you should change your mind after making a deposit, that deposit can be applied to another sheep or to a future purchase.

All animals will have their CD/T shots and scrapie tags and will be registered with NASSA.  Those traveling across state lines will also have a veterinary certificate.  In addition, all lambs will be halter-trained.

Trinity Farm maintains a closed flock, and the sheep are free of Scrapie, OPP, CL, and hoofrot.

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me!

Notes:

  • Lambs are not always willing to pose for the camera. Photos will be updated as the lambs grow - and choose to cooperate.

  • Lambs indicated as Not For Sale are likely to be retained for breeding at Trinity Farm, but they may be available at a later date.
