Yesterday my parents and I made the long trip up to Fenton MI to pick up a starter flock of Shetland sheep and a couple llamas. We got them from the lady who runs Kirkshire. She gave me the 4 llamas because her husband has passed away from cancer and needed to cut down on the amount of critters she was feeding.
The Ram is in the back a black and white Ilget he is a lamb, 2 moorit ewes one is a lamb and one a yearling and a black ewe lamb. They have been running with the ram all fall so could be bred as well, if so will be my very first spring with lambs.
This is a pic of the 3 female llamas. I am going to keep the 2 lighter colored llamas and the dark llama in the back is looking for a forever home. The one is the front is named Yo Momma LOL So now I have a Llama Gama and a Llama Yo Momma. Little female in the back I need to name yet.
This is a gelding named Bullet that is looking for a forever home as well. The other dark llama is his mom so it would be great if they could go together. I am asking $50 each to help with the cost of gas to MI and back. All in all we a great trip up there and back yesterday it just made for a very long day. The good Lord blessed me with amazing parents that went with me and Dad even done all the driving. Hope you enjoyed the pics God Bless Dustin.

How great for you!
ReplyDeleteHow exciting! I see you will be going "horned." I have some blog-buddies who raise Shetlands and are dedicated to developing lines of "polled" Shetlands, but it's less important to others. There is a big Shetland blog community out there!
ReplyDeleteThey are gorgeous! I am so excited for you. =) If I had more land I would be interested in a llama or two.
