This is little Katey. She now lives at Hubbert Farms. We don't really know what breed she is but she is definitely a crossbreed with maybe some Shetland in her because she is so small. She was kind of like a rescue sheep from a local meat sheep breeder that didn't have the heart to ...gulp...you know. He got her from a sale barn in Ontario I believe.Soon (maybe next week I hope) we are getting the sheep that we will begin breeding! They are Gotland and gotland crosses and a couple finns. One of the ewe lambs will be my very own! Their wool will be perfect for adding to the alpaca fleeces for our new line of yarns and rovings. I am totally in luv with Katey as you can see...she has a velvety soft and sweet little face:)
