That's why I evaluated Sarai's (and Vienna's) condition before breeding them, and this WILL be their last lambing. The Shetland breeders I know keep their retirees as wool producers and acknowledgement of their contributions to their flocks. Mine live here until they die.<br /><br />Sue, I've noticed Rick interacting with Poppy more since Brian left for winter term. I don't know why, but it IS heartwarming!Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01550786937196525098noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31671898.post-80401767685135005172021-02-08T07:48:29.576-08:002021-02-08T07:48:29.576-08:00Oh, I love that picture of Rick and Poppy.

Are they kept for wool producing? <br /><br />Maybe this is info I really don’t want to know????<br />Retired Knitterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13662288640032813770noreply@blogger.com
