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.

No Longer in Her Mother's Shadow...
BLUFF COUNTRY DESTINY
Born one of a set of triplets, Destiny was quietly kept away from the other lambs and from ME (the shepherdess!) pretty much all of the time until I separated her from her dam so that I could put her in a breeding group this year.
Alice is pretty good about that ~ keeping her ewe lambs away from me so I can't make friends with them!
Destiny is two years old now and finally decided that I can be trusted!
She has found her niche in the flock and is maturing into a stunning ewe.
Destiny is sired by Windswept Bravo (black & white, HST) and I can't WAIT to see what she gives me for lambs next month.... Destiny is emsket and Hunter is also "modified"/HST, so I'm hoping for modified, HST lambs from Alice's beautiful daughter...
Nancy, I REALLY think you should do a trip West. I bet you could sell enough of your sheep to make a killing and have your trip paid for too. I honestly would buy a buyer! Haul some for other folks too, bring some back and make some more profit/travel money. Maybe go to Lois' you KNOW you would LOVE that visit!! (Have I convinced you yet?):)
What beautiful fleeces!!! They look so ready for a hair cut!!! Just gorgeous.
