Shetland Sheep

Shetland Sheep are a hardy, small to medium-sized breed originating from the Shetland Islands in Scotland. Known for their fine, soft wool, they are often kept for wool production, as well as for their gentle nature and adaptability. These sheep are resilient to harsh weather, making them well-suited to northern climates. Their diet primarily consists of grass, and they are typically raised on small farms or in rural areas. Shetland Sheep are also valued for their ability to control vegetation naturally by grazing, and their fleece is used in high-quality textiles and crafts.
