The Shetland is a small, wool-producing breed of Northern European short-tailed sheep. They are classified as a landrace or “unimproved” breed, that originated in the Shetland Isles. The Shetland breed has survived for centuries and are easier to care for than many modern breeds as they retain many of their primitive survival instincts.
