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.

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, thick/muscley structure, short and wide tail, with nice wool on poll. She also has the sweetest personality and loves attention, but can definitely be a goofball!
Note: the "bald" spot under Viola's neck in some of the pictures is because of her sticking her head in the hay feeder and rubbing on the boards!

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 ;)
