On this page we are proud and excited to show you our bred ewes!  These ewes have been exposed to the indicated rams.  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.  All of these girls are outstanding, adults having proven their worth through prior production of quality lambs, and lambs having proven themselves through production of top notch fleeces and good growth patterns.  All were chosen for superior conformation, excellent fleece, multiple birth records (or their mother’s, in the case of ewe lambs), ease of lambing, milkiness, and ability to pass these qualities to their offspring.   Both ram and ewe lambs will embody the best of the above attributes, too (carrying on the tradition).  Only ten ewes are for sale as exposed to the ram chosen.  The rest we won't part with at this time, but we'd be glad to reserve a lamb for you from those, or you may purchase them after lambing (please note this in the price column).  We reserve the right to keep first choice of their lambs, but second or third lambs may be reserved for $100, which we will apply toward your purchase price when the lamb is born.  In this way, you can plan for what you would like to have, and you can be sure it will be yours!  If a lamb isn't born that fits your reservation, we will refund your reservation fee or you can apply it to another available lamb.  This fee is nonrefundable once the lambs are on the ground and there is one that matches your needs.  With a purchase of three or four ewe lambs, we give a discount of 10%.   Purchase of five or more ewe lambs earns a discount of 20%.  You may also purchase a ram lamb for half price with either package.  We ask for a deposit of 30% on any lamb or group of lambs purchased.  Below is a special list of our lamb prices.  These prices reflect a discount for you—after the birth of the lambs, prices will be reflective of the actual colors, patterns and fleece quality of those lambs.  Your opportunity here is to choose ahead of time lambs you want from the breedings of your choice, guided by our projections as to color, pattern, etc.

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!

Moonwink

 

A polled white AI sired ram who had fleece an inch an half long when he was born!  Moonwink is named as he is because his thel-rich fleece has the soft lustrous whiteness of a full moon, with absolutely astounding quality.  It is soft and luxurious with an unbelievable thickness and length -he almost glows as he stands watching us.  He is very large and impressive, with super width throughout, yet he is a gentle guy.  This is an incredible ram, and we can't wait to see his offspring!  His sire is Glaer, an AI ram whose quality is unquestioned, and his dam is Annie, a beautiful, big,moorit grey ewe with super fleece herself, who has a history of producing moorit and grey from his mother.  Moonwink was penned with the following ewes:

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:
