Welcome to Earendel Shetland sheep

My husband Al and I have a small farm located in Ontario Canada.
We currently have 18 Shetland sheep, and are North American Shetland Sheep Assoc. flock number 1505. So you should be able to look up the full pedigrees that way, let me know if it will not work for you.

Over the past few years we have been collecting what is left of the Cherrington flock. The flock was dispensed 10 years ago when Dale Shannon retired. Dale was a spinner and weaver and this was her purpose bred flock. We were really fortunate to find Tammy Ward of Kalwa Taure Shetlands who started with some of Dale's flock.
One way or the other we have managed bring home as many of Tammy's Cherringtons as well can. All of our girls are either direct Cherringtons bred by Dale or from the Cherrington line, bred by Tammy and ourselves
.
Last November, with Carol Precious's help we got our ram from the Dailley Flock we called him Pachino. He also romances Tammy's girls as our two farms are sharing the same breeding goals.
We do not show our sheep, we are not interested in politics.

We feel that we have been entrusted with Shetland sheep that share a unique heritage from some of the early North American lines. We are determined not to mess it all up!

We breed every other year and take that interval year two evaluate the lambs. Both Carol and Dale have been really helpful in coming to see our flock and advising us on who is worthy of going on and who is not. Those who are not chosen as breeding stock are beloved "lawn ornaments.

This year we are hopeful that Esme and Jessie are pregnant out of Pachino of course.
So let me start to introduce you to the Earendal flock. Where possible I have included comments about some of our Cherringtons from Dale's flock book.
