Icelandics are an excellent all-around breed that is becoming increasingly popular around the US. Desirable traits include common multiple births, excellent mothering, abundant fleece, fast growth, delicious meat, naturally docked tails, and vigor. We like to send them out on assignment to help bring back the fertility of our land, as they love to graze where the brambles and weeds have taken over. They do well during pregnancy without supplemental grain which allows us to farm with a low footprint, feeding only grass, hay and minerals.

We offer Icelandic grass-fed meat and wool products, but mostly we love to breed animals to go on and thrive at other farms. With a breeding program in place since 2002, we have raised and sold over 500 animals, and are

excited to contribute to sheep making a comeback on small farms. Because sheep thrive on rocky, low-value land that is not well suited to growing other food, they can be an economical and ecologically smart source of food and fiber.

Starting a new flock or choosing animals to add to your farm is always a big deal. You want to be sure you are getting healthy, locally adapted breed stock that are going to make the transition well, and serve your needs. We have a track record of selecting for hardy, large Icelandics uniquely adapted to a grass-fed diet, easy lambing, and quick healthy growth. We have also kept records on our rams and offspring for parasite resistance for many years and have made great strides in our genetics in that area.
