Spring 2024 Fleeces.
Welcome to Harmony Marsh Farm! We have a small flock of Purebred Shetlands, Shetland x Gotlands and a few high percentage Gotlands. I primarily breed for fine fleeced Shetlands that will have soft and crimpy fleeces. All of the Fleeces are raw and have only been lightly skirted.
Any shipping would be on the buyers expense.
The pictures of the fleece samples next to the tape measure were all taken from about mid side.
I also have some 2023/2022 fleeces available. My Facebook page is called Harmony Marsh Farm if you would like to follow along to see the sheep the fleeces are coming from.
