On this page we're proud and excited to show you our breeding ewes! Our goal is to produce the best Icelandics available anywhere, and we've taken great care in selecting what we feel are excellent examples of the breed for our breeding program. All of these girls are outstanding, or they wouldn't have been chosen for breeding. They were chosen for their conformation, their award winning fleece, their multiple birth records (you will see that almost all of our adult ewes have a 200% lambing rate or better), ability to lamb unassisted, milkiness, and ability to pass these qualities to their offspring. Another quality that we’re breeding for is resistance to worms. Many of our ewes now need to be wormed only once or twice in a season. Our first worming comes just before lambing, and it is a routine one where all the ewes are wormed as a precaution because the next period of time is their most vulnerable. Our ewe lambs embody the best of our ewe qualities, too (carrying on the tradition). You will find some ewes for sale on our Stock for Sale page, and some we won't part with. We have what we think is a great discount package: your first ewe is full price, but our discounts start at the very second one! Your second ewe will be 10% off, your third 15% off, your fourth 20% off, and your fifth ewe is 25% off! This discount structure applies to any combination of ewes and ewe lambs. The first full price ewe will be the most expensive, and subsequent ewe discounts apply to the ewes in descending order according to price. We ask for a deposit of 30% on any ewe or group of ewes purchased. Go to our Stock for Sale page to check out our ewes, ewe lambs and ram lambs for sale. An added benefit of purchasing a group of ewes is that with 5 ewes, you will be able to purchase your ram lamb of choice for half price! Enjoy, browse, and give us a call or send an email if you have any questions! We love to talk about our sheep family.

Chicory

Chicory, HWF167N, polled black ram with who impressed us from the time he was born. He is a glorious nonfading black with fleece that is just beautiful, long, thick and soft, with a lovely handle. He is wide through out and solid, square and strong like his father, Mehemet (SRX175M) His fleece is so thick, it's hard to see his skin when parting it, and the fibers are unusually lustrous. His mother, Flora, is a lovely snow white ewe whose fleece is beautiful, soft and lustrous. She is from one of our old favorites, Sylvia, who is also dam of one of our other flock sires, Fennel, (listed below) Chicory traces back twice to Faldur on his sire's side and to Askur on his mother's side. Both parents have super temperaments, as does he. He's just what we were looking for! Gorgeous Blue black, completely polled, great fleece lines, he wins a place as a flock sire! These ewes were with Chicory:

Hawkweed

HWF163N, Hawkweed, a horned moorit ram, is undeniably one of the best moorit sires we’ve seen, with his dark unfading fleece that shines with copper highlights in the sun. He is a majestic ram that captures your eye with excitement as you walk in the field. His maternal grandmother Duet (BLW95G 2,2,2,2,1,2) has the same regal bearing that draws your eye. He is wide and strong, with fleece that makes you want to touch its profuse softness. His father is Ghiradelli, our super, horned moorit ram from last year, and his mother is Alyssum(HWF01M, twins as a ewe lamb) Both parents’ fleeces won at Maryland Sheep and Wool last year. Ghiradelli’s mother is Stumpy, (BLW74G, 1,3,2,2,2 200%). So Hawkweed has size, fleece quality, and prolificacy on both sides of his pedigree. Watchful, but easy to handle. He traces back to AI sires Sveppur on his sire’s side and Hunn on his mother’s side. Wow!

Fennel

HWF159N, Fennel, a horned black badgerface ram with beautiful rich color and fleece so long and profuse it hangs over his face when he’s grazing. Fennel is an exceptionally fine ram, one who drew the eye from the time he was very young. His fleece was a rich , warm caramel at birth, and it has held the warm tones as he has matured. It is very nicely balanced and so long that the thel is almost 6 inches, with that buttery softness that is so delightful to feel. His sire Mehemet (SRX 175M), has given us two of our flock sires this year, a tribute to his ability to pass on his quality. Fennel traces back twice to Faldur on his sire’s side, while his mother, Sylvia (STS55F, 1,2,1,2,3,3,2,200%) has been a consistent and prolific producer of quality sheep. Comes from good temperament, should produce it too. We can’t wait to see what Fennel produces! Fennel’s ewes:
