Welcome to the polled Shetland sheep list. This list is for everyone interested in sheep horn genetics (horned/scurred/polled), with an emphasis on Shetland sheep. Share knowledge and breeding results, compare notes, sell/trade polled/ scurred stock, post photos, trace bloodlines, ask questions, and learn all we can about sheep horn genetics. We also hope to identify and establish polled Shetland ram and ewe lines within allowable North American Shetland Sheep Association rules and regulations.
Please note that this list has no agenda against horned shetlands. Our opinion is that the poll shetland deserves a future in North America, alongside his brother, the horned shetland. Neither the shetland registry, nor the breed Standard discriminates against polled or scurred rams.
No spam flaming will be tolerated. Violators will be banned.
PLEASE READ: At this time, advertising is limited to polled/scurred shetland sheep, or other polled sheep where the poll gene is uncommon. This may change in the future. Please indicate "Sale or Trade", and location in the topic line. You are welcome to advertise at any time and include pricing, if you wish. Other advertisements, including links to off-topic sites, will be removed at my discretion. This list is heavily moderated. I welcome suggestions/comments via private e-mail at littlecountryacres.yahoo.com. Thank you and enjoy the list.
FEATURED POLLED RAM: This is Valiant Braveheart, flock sire at Michelle McMillen's Boulderneigh Farm in OR.
