Shetland & Bluefaced Leicester Sheep, Fleece and Heritage Crafts

We were lucky to acquire our registered foundation ewes from Bramble Wool Farm, in Door County WI. We select for excellent conformation, fleece and good temperaments. We do maintain diversity in our flock, many of our ewes have very fine UK type fleeces while others have the more primitive coats that hand spinners love. With Shetlands there is something for everyone!
