Welcome to the world of Shetland sheep! They're a hardy, charming breed of wool sheep and I'm thrilled to introduce you to them. Join me for a chat about their care and what you need to know before jumping in to raising your own Flock.
(Sorry for the filthy hands - Demeter is very dirty. My hands were clean when I started recording. 😱😅 It's why washing is so critical in fleece prep!)
Also, ignore the timestamp in the upper left. I didn't know my camera did that, and that is a very old/wrong date! 🤭 I guess I need to fix it.
