Hello! I have not posted on here for a long time, but would like someone with whom to share my excitement so....I am getting some new sheep!! They are registered Gotlands, a simply beautiful breed with silvery grey wool that makes a lovely fleece. As well, they have calm dispositions with a natural curiosity towards and affable response to humans. Two of the lambs coming are ewes. In buying ewes I am taking a step that previously I had been against; I was more than a bit scared of breeding and thought I always would have an "all whethers" flock. But since that time, I have slowly warmed to the idea after finding a breed I believe is a perfect match for my personality, my land, and the local hand spinners market. So I took the plunge and invested in registered ewes who I will probably breed up, looking to increase percentage of full blood Gotland within two years. I am soooo....eager to bring them home!!
