Home Contact Us Produce Shetland sheep Produce 2 ~ Dexter Beef Scotland ~ Mutton Scotland ~ Top Quality Wool Scotland ~ Shetland sheep come in various pretty colours and patterns. They are marvellous mothers and will take on foxes and dogs if necessary! Being a 'primitive' breed, they usually lamb in April though a few will be born in March or May. This means that lamb is highly seasonal and limited to the months of October to December. In Spring and Summer we have mature lamb and mutton may be available during the winter months. A whole lamb weighs between 12 to 18 kilos and may be processed by the butcher to order - whole or half leg joints and rolled shoulder, chops and burgers and sausages. Fleece from the sheep varies so is useful for different purposes: the finest can be used for knitting baby clothing, shawls etc. second grade is ideal for weaving and knitting while the coarser wool may be used for rugs, felting and other craft work.   This picture shows a 'black gulmoget' ewe with her very young triplets which she fed without extra feeding for herself or her lambs. ~ Shetland Lamb Scotland ~ Top Quality Meat Scotland ~ Shetland Wool Scotland ~
