  STOCK FOR SALE

Welcome to our Stock for Sale page!  We’ve been working for years to build up a really top quality flock of Icelandics, and last fall we kept the best of the best, feeling we’d really accomplished what we’d set out to do.  Our fleeces have consistently won at Maryland Sheep and Wool over the years that they’ve been entered, and our raw fleeces sell  repeatedly for premium prices to handspinners that seek quality.  Our stock is sound and wide and strong, developed for good rumens, easy lambing, and longevity.  Each year, we carefully cull for parasite resistance and have made great strides—this past year some of our sheep were only wormed once!   And we only keep ewes that are of good temperament and easy to handle.  This year we wintered over 43 ewes of superior breeding stock.  

The past year has been a wonderful year for us.  Our lamb flock from last year was outstanding!  At this time, we are at (or above) our upper limit in sheep, though.  What that means, for us, is letting go some of the best stock we’ve developed.  What that means, for you, is the opportunity to purchase some of the best stock available anywhere.  Below you’ll find three tables of stock for sale. 

The first table lists adult ewes.  They represent ewes that have been bred for fleece, meat conformation, hardiness, prolificacy, lambing ease, mothering skills, and personality.  All of these ewes are ones that we would be happy to keep, so that means a lot in terms of quality.  At this time, this page is blank.  All the adult ewes that were for sale have been sold, or else we decided to keep them.  In the spring, after lambing, we’ll make the difficult decision to let some of our breeding flock go, so that we can keep some lambs.  Please check out the Breeding Ewes Page to select a ewe you’d like and either contact us or keep watch on the Adult Ewes for Sale page!

The second table is the Lambs for Sale Page that lists lambs we’ll be selling.   They are the culmination of years of careful planning on our part, successfully putting together breedings that we felt would complement the strengths of our ewes. These lambs are excellent quality.  At this time, we are listing potential lambs (which you can reserve ahead of time and save money), and as lambs are born, we will list them here, with their increased prices. 

Please look over our selections, and feel free to contact us with any questions!  We have lots more photos of all of them that we can send, and we have lots more information about each one of them that the limitations of space prevented us from putting down here.  We’d be glad to help you find just the right sheep for your flock!”

 

Enjoy!
