urgently wanting a registered Shetland lamb as company for a tiny cade we have just taken on. She is too small to go in with our commercial cades
Must be really young as this girl is tiny. would really like another dark one but TBH any colour would be ok just to give her company

What I have got is a Shetland ewe who lost her only lamb overnight.......my lambs all have mums.

Sorry you have lost a lamb
My life really wouldn't be worth living if I let her go. There has been a woman waiting here for 70 years for a black cade and she wont let go now she has one

Ok :)
The other possibility might be that I have a registered black shearling with a tiny moorit katmoget gimmer lamb (whom I haven't registered yet but can) and I was going to sell the ewe anyway, as I want to keep one of my black gimmer lambs - and my flock's too big as it is.
What I don't know is whether or not she'd let your cade 'hang out' with her and her lamb, even if she didn't feed it, or whether she'd bash it, so that might work or it might be a disaster. ..who knows what goes on in the mind of a a Shetland ewe!
Anyway, there it is, if you don't find your little cade - trouble is with Shetlands is that they're good mums, so Shetlands cades are rare.

I have got 4 more to lamb end of this week (but not sure if all will as tup wasn't firing on all cylinders and this is the gang that had a second go), but these will all be white. But don't think I will have any triplets. Will get in touch if I do have something suitable available.

I know you really want a shetland, but if you get desperate for company, we do have a very small pet lamb (name of Mighty Mouse) - although I am not sure how small you are needing, not having any hands on experience with shetlands! I could weigh/measure him if it would help, though.
