Shetland sheep info

[goats&moregoats]

getting 2 wether lambs. Need any advice on this particular breed. I have goats. Can these guys be integrated ? Sheep are all new to me.

Goats and sheep can live together nicely. You will need to watch out for the feed though. Goat feed and mineral has copper which sheep should not have. A nibble here or there won't kill them, but copper builds up over time and can cause big problems.

Shetlands are a fun breed. I HIGHLY recommend halter-training them. Mine always get friendlier after being trained. Chest scratches will win over the most skeptical Shetland.
