They are gorgeous Jaykay.

And for your Shetland 101 here one of my boys - Skein.  He is an approved ram but his  breeder tells me she feels his horns could be a little lighter.

Hi Fronhaul
I was thinking maybe of getting my ram looked at in the hope of getting him approved status... what is involved? What do they look for? Thanks.  You ram is truly gorgeous!  :wave:
From 3 to 30 and still flocking up!

They look super. Love the different colours and the markings on the face of the young tup.

He is two rising 3 Jaykay.  I can't wait to see what his lambs are going to be like.  Glad you think he is handsome, he is also a real gent so I am rather proud of him.  His fleece was assessed at 19/20 by someone when he made a guest appearance at the Welsh region Jacob Sheep Society open day recently.  Mallows Flock I have pm'ed you because I think you may know the perfect person to advise you.
