Shetland Lambs for sale at Whispering Pines - Jen

We have six ewes and four ram lambs left to sell, a nice assortment of colors and patterns. The photos below were taken June 3rd. Fleece samples, additional photos and pedigrees are available on request. Pricing includes interstate vet check, registration and transfer fees. We will deliver to Syracuse and to PA border as far west as Erie and east to Binghamton. We are going to Michigan at the end of June and will be at AGM in WI in September, and can bring stock with us on both of those trips. All our rams come with a horn guarantee. All sheep are up to date on shots, and feet are nicely trimmed. Our sheep are very used to being handled and we strive to have all lambs halter broke before they leave our farm.

School is in session - Jen


To me, a halter trained lamb is one that stands quietly and lets you put the halter on, then walks by your side with a slack lead. Usually the majority of our lambs are trained before they leave the farm. My process is pretty time consuming but well worth the effort when it comes time for routine sheep care - shots, hoof trimming, worming and shearing. Here are some young lambs waiting for their turn on the halter.



Tied to a post, they get used to the feel of the halter before they take a short walk with me. After a few weeks, I take each lamb on a walk around the fenceline. I sure don't need to spend much time on the treadmill this time of the year!
