While living in the Hoosier state of Indiana we purchased our first Shetland ram in 1989 from Gail Former of Underhill Farm. When we moved to Pennsylvania in 1995 we contacted Linda and Tuthill Doane at Maple Ridge Sheep Farm in Vermont and our original flock sires came from there. Since that time we have traded and purchased animals with others in Pennsylvania and have culled our flock intensively. At present we have a small, purebred, flock of five rams and eighteen breeding ewes. Because our original and some subsequent breed stock included, among other breeds, Border Leicester and Cheviot, we breed, retain, and cull a limited number of crossbred ewes as well. The intent of our breeding program has always been to select for adherence to the Shetland breed standard and for fleece color and quality.

     Breeding at Pairodox typically begins in October. Because we lamb in early spring we can offer lambs for sale anytime after they are weaned but prefer to wait until September or October. We cull rigorously while selecting for fleece quality, individual conformation, and adherence to the Shetland Breed Standard. Yearlings and older animals are sometimes available and are offered on a first-come-first-served basis.
