It certainly has been lots of emotions- I feel like maybe I am not good enough to have sheep at times! It is a steep learning curve and I desperately would like to get it right. I look forward to hearing about your Shetland to see what she has, We put Carlos in with all three of our ewes that we kind of inherited. The vet said commercially he would have got rid of two of them as one has no teeth (the one he thinks is about 12) and the other one tooth. The ram went through two cycles but nothing since- due about May 15th (if in lamb). will start to watch them from mid April, as with my first three I could see them growing!
Good look with your shetland.
