[QUOTE="M-J-G, post: 6097934, member: 1819"] I'm not sure Shetlands are that rare a breed as there seem to be a fair few around. They are a damned hardy little sheep, but are very clever (for a sheep) making them a handful. I have lambed Shetland and they are pretty much labour free as long as their udders aren't dropped too much. I have also lambed Cheviot x Shetlands which were a really good ewe to work with. I can't say enough good things about them. [/QUOTE]
