| Back Forty Baa(ers) Purebred Shetland Sheep and (a) Cross Bred Border Leicester Sheep |
| I must remember to be careful what I wish for! In the spring of 2004, our daughter was the senior division winner of the Indiana Shetland Sheep Association Ewe-Lamb-Give-Away-Contest. We were pleased to obtain her winning lamb from Gail Former of Underhill Farm located in Spencer, IN. Knowing that small hoof stock always does better with company, we purchased the second ewe lamb for a companion; or at least that's what we told my husband! Glenna named them UNDERHILL JUBILEE and UNDERHILL PERSEPHONE respectively, and we were soon"in the sheep business!" With her success in the 4-H show ring with them as lambs and as yearlings --it wasn't long until we were beating a path back to Gail's door leasing a ram--we wanted more Shetlands! |
| Our next step is to selectively breed our ewes and see what spring 2009 brings! We were absolutely delighted with the density, color, fineness, and texture of our 2008 lambs' fleeces. We will be doing a repeat breeding using JUSTALIL' BRAN as we are idling his 2008 daughters out of this breeding season. Since I am a fan of HST (Head-Socks-Tail) markings and SPOTS, I'm really looking forward to seeing what the 2009 lamb crop will bring! I'll be posting photos of our ewes to this page soon. Fiber and lambs (possibly some mature breeding stock) are (and will be) available for purchase. |
