I have a few shetland x ryelands aswel
mine are about the same height as the shetlands but much much chunkyier! also much wilder which is the funny thing!
The black lamb in this photo is a shetland cross ryeland, the chocolate coloured shetland next to him is his mum, he was born on the 20th of March, so nearly 3 months old, bigger than his mum!
to the left of the chocolate coloured shetland ewe, is a shetland cross ryeland ewe, who is daughter to the katmoget (badger faced) shetland ewe in the photo and shares the same dad as the black lamb...
confusing yes I know
