Breeding Stock
|
Welcome,
new friends and old!
This is where our quality stands for
itself—in our animals and their superior award
winning wool, fleece and conformation.
This has been a good year for us, with
beautiful lambs and easy lambing—we were
blessed with lots of color AND lots of
wonderful, fleecy lambs!
We bred to increase the AI genetics in
our flock and to make our wool crop even better!
Entering
the Maryland Sheep and Wool Festival gave
tangible proof to the quality of our fleeces.
With an entry of three fleeces, we came home
from that huge, quality show with a second and a
third prize!! What a thrill and
testimony to the quality of wool we’re
producing!

All
our lambs and many of our ewes have AI
Icelandic genetics, and
we’re proud to present
them to you on our
Breeding Ewes
page and our
Stock for
Sale page.
Whether you’re just looking
right now or whether you are ready to
purchase, we’re happy to have you
browse, study, or just enjoy the
pictures of our sheep.

Our
Breeding Ewes
are the backbone and foundation of our
business, and they have proven themselves
to be hardy, easy lambers, good mothers,
and producers of the finest lambs we could
ask for.
Some of them were born in Canada,
on Stefania Dignum’s Yeoman Farm.
Stefania is the
person responsible for bringing these
sheep to North America from Iceland, and
she has worked diligently to give us all a
sound foundation from which to build.
We’re pleased to have the fruit
of her experience in our Yeoman ewes. |

Some
of our ewes came to us by way of Barbara
Webb’s Jager Farms.
Barbara was the first person to
begin breeding Icelandic sheep in this
country, and she has produced many
wonderful animals.
Excellent stock came to us, too,
from Elaine Clark’s Frelsi Farm in
Maine. |
|
Completing our flock are some
incredible ewes from Susan and Rex
Mongold’s Tongue River Farms in Montana,
where the wind blows wild and the sheep
thrive.
|
 |
Our
breeding rams are the best—chosen from those
we breed and occasionally purchased
from
other breeders with superior stock.
All of them undergo careful scrutiny
and study to select only the very best quality
in fleece and conformation, as well as
excellent temperaments, so that the lambs that
we sell can be the best we can possibly
produce. Any
rams that don’t meet our standards are
culled from our flock.
See our Ram
Page for more information on them!

Add
to this the AI
genetics from Iceland, and you have
quality that can’t be beaten, so please enjoy
looking through what we have.
We are members of the Voluntary Scrapie
Program in New York state, and our stock is
healthy and free from disease.
Volume purchases earn discounts—please
see our Stock for Sale
page
for more details.
We are in upstate New York, just south of
Rochester.

We
have diverse genetic bloodlines because we have
begun with some of the best sheep from a variety
of sources, and we have been fortunate to have
also some of the best AI blood in Iceland running
through their veins.

If
you're interested in purchasing stock from us, our
policy allows for multiple purchases which will
result in a volume discount.
After the first ewe, the purchase
of each additional ewe earns a progressive
discount. The second ewe earns a discount of
10%, the third 15%, the fourth 20%, and the
fifth and each subsequent one 30%. The
most expensive ewe will be counted first, etc.
After the purchase of 5 ewes, we offer a ram
lamb from our breeding ram list at half price. We ask for a 30% deposit on
all purchases.
