I can't even describe how much I loved this Vlog. No doubt I mentioned that I was an Icelandic shepherdess not so long ago. I know Margaret also. As a matter of fact I had an ewe from her line. I also had the pleasure of being S❤hepherdess to a leader sheep before they were declared a separate "type" of Icelandic. They are everything Margaret said they are. Elke was my "snitch". If there was even one little thing wrong she'd yell her head off. I swear she could get inside our heads too. Best teacher ever. For us and our herding dogs. ( Also Icelandics ). I miss the sheep horribly, but our area just didn't seem to like my sheep. Poor dogs herd chickens now. The Shetland/ Icelandic cross IS truly so adorable. Most of my ewes went to live on a Shetland farm nearby. I hope to see their Shepherd tomorrow at NE Sheep and wool. This is going to be very interesting!

Hi Jacki - thank you so much, I am so glad you enjoyed the video - you must miss your sheep so much!

Really enjoyed the visit to another shepherdess' farm.... Thanks for doing this (and for spreading the genes of your wonderful shetlands...)

Thank you Beverley - I am glad you enjoyed our little road trip!

Great video, Jen! Thanks for taking us along on the farm visit - as I eye different options for fencing :-) Loved how all the sheep came running to the sound of the grain bucket!

Ahhh! Margaret is awesome. I have an Icelandic ram who originated from her line who is the sweetest boy. Love to see this video.

Thanks for taking us along with you to visit that farm. I would be concerned about the sheep wearing the lead harnesses all the time. I can see wearing halters but I would be concerned about the lead hanging free?

Thanks Pat - I asked Margaret that but she said she doesn't have any issues with them.
