Icelandic sheep are used for milk, meat and fiber, are good browsers and extremely hardy, while still being a manageable size for a small hobby farm.
Not only are our sheep integral to the sustainability of our farm, they bring us such joy! There is something so peaceful and serene about flocks contentedly grazing the green hills, and there are few things as delightful as frolicking lambs.
If you have done your homework on raising sheep, you may be intimidated by the whole prospect after having read about susceptibility to ailments, difficult lambing, etc. Icelandics are not like that! They are prized for their resistance to weather, disease and problems that are so "typical" of traditional flocks.
If you are considering sheep, we invite you to visit, we would be happy to answer any questions you may have, or direct you to appropriate resources. If you have made your decision, and are looking for lambs, or quality, registered breeding stock, we have all colors and patterns, (even spots!) as well as BISKUP leadersheep and ARI lines. We can help you choose a foundation that will give you a great start!
Would you like to read more about them? Here is a link to the breeder's association:

The Sheep’s Prayer
Lord, I hope my
stomachs
Are bigger than
my eyes
As how I love each blade of green
That grows beneath thy skies.
As I am just a wooly sheep,
Please help me count myself
to sleep.
