Shetland sheep have changed my life and touched my heart. They have brought me joy, adventure and serenity. Follow along as I live each day influenced by memories of my mighty flock of mini sheep ~ aided and abetted by "Bellamica", the English Shepherd,"Sable", my livestock guardian dog and "Hero" the rescue dog that stole my heart! You'll also meet many of the homeless dogs that I rescue and rehome as part of Bluff Country Canine Rescue.

My Favorite Fleece...
THIS Is the fleece that I LOVE.
THIS fleece is as soft as butter...
it has a fine, uniform crimp and long staple length...
a beautiful, metallic color...
and a beautiful, silken sheen and handle.
Absolutely Scrumptious!!
I would be absolutely thrilled and ecstatically happy if EVERY lamb born to my flock had fleece like "BLUFF COUNTRY ZARIA"
ZARIA says... "Gee, THANKS, Mom! It's nice to be appreciated!"
"It's HARD WORK growing all this fleece!"
It looks like Zaria is growing at LEAST two lambs again this year, as well!
Oh so pretty......I could almost feel it! She's gorgeous too! (.....but not as pretty as you Dreamer...don't you worry....there...feel better now? Cyber hugs Dreamer's way).
psst...Nancy...I gotta say this quietly so Dreamer doesn't hear....Do you have any of Zaria's roving for sale? Email me if you do.....when Dreamer's not looking of course.
Zaria's fleece is stunning! And she's very generous with it, too, eh? How much do you get in one shearing from her? I can't wait to see her lambs. I wonder if they will have as nice as fleece as their Mama. :)
Zaria looks especially round in the head on picture. Maybe you will get three little lambs.
ReplyDeleteI miss my jacket. When do you need more hay?
Here's hoping her lambs inherit her fleece characteristics! She is a beauty!

ReplyDeleteHow does Bling's fleece compare to his Mom's?
