Perhaps these minis had some other breed bred into them at some point...like icelandic or shetland...possibly something that is known to have the 'rise' each spring. I know when we bred purebred icelandics years ago, they would start to shed their fleece...we could actually roo them...but since we had so many, the shearer would come. Usually we waited until right before lambing, otherwise the rise would be included in the autumn fleece, which was the fleece that we would keep for spinning.
