Looking to do a ewe trade. Located near Burlington, VT.

I have 2 yearling Shetland ewes (registered) that I would be willing to trade for REGISTERED Shetlands ewes (1 - 4 years). Any color/pattern (or lack of pattern) considered, but I love patterns and spots!

One ewe is musket and the other is grey. The musket ewe is very (VERY) friendly. Both are considered spotted since they have white spots on the top of their heads (musket ewe's spot has faded).

I would also consider selling them. $400 each. Please PM me for more information.

I have 2 bottle rams for sale or trade. They are still with their mom but she didn't have milk due to a selenium deficiency.. Alas..... Mom is a BFL. Dad is a CVMxBFL. They are triplets. The ewe lamb is also for sale....I wanted to keep her but DH is taking me on a trip to Venice and I just can't ask someone to bottle her the entire time I am gone. I will be traveling to Ava, Mo from SW Michigan to deliver my DS to grandma's house and I'd be willing to deliver them if anyone is interested in that direction. They are 3 weeks old, on a homemade formula and growing like weeds. I'll be leaving here somewhere around the 8th. Their tails are banded but they are not 'fixed' yet. These are nice lambs. A bit jumpy for my tastes. The rams in their sire's line were all over 300 lbs. Their fleeces are beautiful.

I've decided to sell all my finnsheep. $100 each if you take them all- 3 registered ewes with 4 lambs at their sides. $150 if taken separately. PM me for more information. I have to have my knees replaced and won't be able to take care of them or bale hay this summer. So sad.... These are my babies. They will require good homes.

I am sorry to hear this. Wish I lived closer.
Hope your surgery goes well and you heal fast!

In June we will have many ewes and lambs to sell! They are border Leicesters and some BL/Corriedale crosses. Very nice girls and strong vigorous lambs this year! We are asking $150 a ewe, $75/yearling wethers and $50/2014 lambs (this years lambs are all half colored merino!)

We can negotiate on groups! We are in La Farge, WI.

Quite likely bred as well. Due sometime in late September/Early October....

We simply got way too many running about the place for the pasture we have set up right now. The plan was for 6 Ewe's and their lambs, we ended up getting talked into taking all 14 Ewe's, and almost 30 lambs....
So dh and I talked tonight, and decided to sell at least 6 of the Ewe's.
There are two that will come with their lambs, they both have twins.
These are young girls, one is a FF not quite two, and a great mom, and the other this is her third lambing, she is also a wonderful mom, she's just over two years old.
The other four are all between 2 and 3 years old, we will be keeping their lambs, but they are all wonderful mothers.
Anyone interested pm me, and we can discuss price.

I'll try to get pictures up tomorrow..

I have several purebred Shetland ram lambs for sale, all carrying spots. Some would make FABULOUS wethers, all but one are black. Sire gives a 5lb+ fleece every year and has the best temperment. Some of the ewes are polled.
I also have two purebred Icelandic ram lambs (can be registered, I'm waiting for the papers from the parents). One is tri-color, the other coal black. These boys are seriously gorgeous. If I had less sense I'd keep them both. Fast gainers, great personalities, they are twins.
A couple of Shetland adults may be available, one wether and a ewe or two.
Prices are negotiable to good homes and discounts are given on multiples. Located half an hour south of Louisville KY. Photos can be seen on the website and farm facebook page, and I can email more privately.
Thanks!

I have the following Shetlands for sale:

EWES

SFF Kitty 111 - yearling musket ewe. Friendly, halter-trained, nice fleece. I would keep her, but I need to keep my Shetland numbers low. $375


LanDavi Myrtle 108 - yearling moorit gulmoget. Friendly, halter-trained, nice fleece. She is nice, but not as nice as Kitty. $375



These two would make a nice starter flock for a youth or someone just looking for a few sheep. They are ready to breed this fall and, if they stay nearby, could come back to be exposed to my new ram. $700 for both ewes. Discount available for a 4-H youth

RAMS

SFF Eugene 104 - 2 year old gray katmoget/gulmoget. He is well-behaved, not aggressive or destructive. His horn are good, a little tight maybe, but they have adequately cleared his face. His fleece is soft and single coated. $400


BrynMeadow Peregrin 278/85 - yearling moorit gulmoget. He is also not aggressive or destructive. His horns are good and his fleece is looking pretty good, but not my favorite. $325


VinegarRidge Mr. Beans 115 - black gulmoget lamb (born 3/28/14). His fleece is quite soft and his horns are looking great. $350


I can make up breeding pairs. Technically the ewes can go with any of the rams, but they will be slightly related. The best pairs are Kitty/Eugene and Mrytle/Peregrin.

PM me for more information!
