Shetland Ewes
Our flock of Shetland sheep were specifically bred to produce high quality wool and have show-worthy conformation. They are all registered (or elgible for registration) with the National Shetland Sheep Breeders Association AND the Fine Fleeced Shetland Sheep Breeders Association. The Fine Fleeced Shetland Sheep Breeders Association (FFSSA) was created to distinguish shetland sheep with average wool from those that produce high quality, super soft, low micron wool as there is a lot of variation in the quality of shetland sheep conformation and wool. We are very proud of our sheep and excited to see what they produce this spring.
If you are interested in a show-quality shetland lamb with beautiful fleece and friendly demeanor, please do not hesitate to contact us! Our deposit fee is $50- this amount goes 100% towards purchase price and is completely refundable if we do not have exactly what you are looking for in the spring. Deposits are taken in the order received. We do offer some transportation (for an additional price)- if you may be interested in this option, we would be happy to discuss it with you!

Blackberry Blossom Farm Viola
Dual registered with FFSSA and NASSA
Color- White
DOB: 4/4/21
Reg # (FFSSA)- 3884
Sire: Under the Son Mancera
Dam: Glen Tamarack Kringla
Viola has been such a blessing to us. In my eyes, she is the ideal ewe. She has beautiful fleece that is extremely fine and crimpy, and super soft. Her conformation is very correct: wide, sturdy build, straight hocks, short and wide tail, with nice wool on poll. She also has the sweetest personality and loves attention, but can definitely be a goofball! She's our resident "tail wagger" whenever you pet her :)

Fleece color- Registered as moorit, turning fawn
DOB- 4/12/15
NASSA Registration number- S46084
Sire- Whispering Pines Jean-Luc
Dam- Emancipation Prija
Manja is one of those ewes that you just can't help but love: she is very sweet and friendly, and never problematic in the flock. Her fleece is currently graded as Premium grade 2 with FFSSA. Even as the oldest ewe in the flock, she consistently produces a lovely, cocoa brown fleece. Manja is retired now and is loving the extra food rations!

Ruby
Blackberry Blossom Farm Ruby
Dual registered with NASSA and FFSSA
Color: Black
DOB: 4/4/21
Reg #: 3885 (FFSSA)
Sire: Under the Son Mancera
Dam: Glen Tamarack Kringla
Kringla sure outdid herself this spring, because Ruby is such a beautiful ewe, just like her sister Viola! She has lovely fleece that is very soft and crimpy, and a unique solid true black color. (As opposed to the more common "shetland" blueish-black color) She also has correct, elegant conformation. At first, Ruby was a fairly shy ewe, but she has definitely warmed up to us and now loves attention! Her fleece is also much cleaner now than in the pictures since we put her coat on ;)
Mirabelle
Glen Tamarack Mirabelle
Dual registered with NASSA and FFSSA
Color: Musket
DOB: 4/24/17
Sire: WhitePine Agno
Dam: Glen Tamarack Talitha
​
When we picked up our first 4 shetlands from Terry and Russ Dukerschein, Mirabelle was the first to greet us. She caught my attention because of her sweetness but she wasn't available at that time. Fast forward a few years, we were able to bring her and another ewe here! She's such a friendly girl and has consistently produced beautiful fleeces. She has great conformation to boot and has won several awards at the Mid-American Shetland Show:
-Reserve Champion Ewe 2019
-Grand Champion Shetland at the 2020 virtual show
-Champion Ewe 2021
Bitsy Wren
Glen Tamarack Bitsy Wren
Dual registered with NASSA and FFSSA
Color- Musket
DOB- 4/18/21
Sire- Inse Enoki
Dam- Glen Tamarack Talitha
​
Bitsy is one of our most "well-rounded" ewes. She has beautiful fleece, strong conformation, and rare bloodlines on her sire's side. She came to our farm with Mirabelle and they certainly look alike! Bitsy was actually a triplet, but she has quickly caught up in size and confidence!
Greta
Blackberry Blossom Farm Greta
Dual registered with NASSA and FFSSA
Color- Spotted ag grey
DOB- 4/17/23
Sire- Under the Son Mancera
Dam- Glen Tamarack Gussalyn
​
Greta radiates grace: she's calm, well behaved (mostly), is an excellent mother, and has such a beautiful face! We retained her because she's out of our beloved Gussie, but also because of her conformation, long staple crimpy fleece, and of course that spotting! She consistently produces large fleeces and has done well when shown. (2nd place ewe lamb at MASS 2023, out of a huge class!)
​
​
Helen
Blackberry Blossom Farm Helen
Registered with NASSA and provisionally registered with FFSSA
Color- Grey katmoget (with intensity)
DOB- 4/1/24
Sire- Under the Son Mancera
Dam- Glen Tamarack Sandpiper
​
Helen is the first grey katmoget we've had on the farm, and we couldn't be happier to have her! She has stunning dark grey fleece and show-worthy conformation. She's one of the shyer sheep, but has behaved well enough in the show ring to earn some awards!
Champion lamb MASS 2024
1st place ewe lamb out of a large class MASS 2024
1st place pair of ewe lambs with her sister, Jenny MASS 2024
5th place yearling ewe out of a large class, MASS 2025

Alice
Blackberry Blossom Farm Alice
Registered with NASSA and provisionally registered with FFSSA
Color- Moorit with white spots on her face and leg
DOB- 4/3/24
Sire- Glen Tamarack Hoisin
Dam- Emancipation Manja
​
It was so exciting for us when Alice was born! We were really hoping for a ewe lamb out of Manja, and we'd never had a moorit ewe lamb before, let alone a spotted one! Since then, Alice has flourished. She's grown into a beautiful ewe with super crimpy fleece and a big personality.
Vera
Blackberry Blossom Farm Vera
Dual registered with NASSA and FFSSA
Color- white with dark grey spot on her forehead
DOB- 4/16/23
Sire- White Pine Porcini
Dam- Blackberry Blossom Farm Viola
​
Vera thinks she is more a person than a sheep! She's a sweetie and likes being by her humans. She grows a beautiful, fine fleece just like her mom, and has a refined, feminine look.
Oconto
Glen Tamarack Oconto
Dual registered with NASSA and FFSSA
Color- white
DOB- 5/3/22
Sire- Inse Enoki
Dam- Glen Tamarack Zella
​
Oconto is our sturdiest, strongest-built ewe. She consistently raises big, strong lambs while keeping excellent body condition. Plus, she has beautiful, silky fleece with bold, "french-fry" crimp. Oconto carries a very rare bloodline for shetlands on her dad's side. She's also extremely sweet and adores attention and scratches.
Annabel
Blackberry Blossom Farm Annabel
Provisionally registered with FFSSA
Color- black with white spots on face, tail and back feet
DOB- 4/18/25
Sire- Linden Lane Thunderegg
Dam- Glen Tamarack Oconto
​
Annabel is a fancy girl and she knows it! She has great conformation, as would be expected looking at both her parents. She's growing in a jet black fleece with wonderful handle and "feel".
Nina
Linden Lane Nina AI
Registered with NASSA (FFSSA registration pending her sire's registration)
Color- fawn katmoget
DOB- 3/30/25
Sire- Smali Knight (UK ram)
Dam- Under the Son Murex
​
We picked Nina up at WSWF this year, and we are blessed to have her! She has, in my opinion, one of the prettiest shetland facial profiles I've ever seen. She's growing in a super fine, long stapled fleece, too. Nina did great at WSWF 2025:
2nd place ewe lamb out of a huge, competitive class (about 30 lambs!)
