Sheltering Pines is 36 acres out of an original 80 acre family farm located in Allegan Michigan. I raise Shetland sheep - all colors/markings/patterns. I started raising Shetlands in 1996 with my friend, Bill Eatmon. I knew that spotted shetlands were our favorite from the beginning and started out immeditately to collect spotted genetics from all over the country. We are NASSA Flock #417. I enjoy visitors and love showing them our Shetland sheep.

Lazy Summer Days
Hot, dry weather has arrived here and the sheep are seeking spots of shade to relax in. Yesterday we had a large group of spinners here at the farm and had grilled hamburgers and hotdogs. Everyone brought food and what a time it was. Matt and Jamie (from Wooly Knob) were here and brought rovings back to several spinners who had sent fleeces back with them last spin and everyone was enthralled with looking at each other's rovings! :-) Of course several fleeces were sent home with Matt and Jamie to have more roving processed. We're all very appreciative of their being willing to deliver the product at these spins. We have so much fun with them here.
Mandy (one of the spinners attending) took some photos and I'll post a couple. One is of my favorite ram, SheltrgPines Darius. The other photo is of a frog on lily pads in the goldfish pond!
