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 (many times 200%
lambing rate or better), their 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. |

Dreamy is a great ewe, history
of triplets, gave us triplet ewes last year, big,
broad, great udder, very milky---Dreamy was one of
our most valuable foundation ewes, since she passes
on prolificacy, great mothering skills, tremendous
width throughout the body, and her wonderful
temperament, as well as excellent fleece |

Duet is majestic
and knows her worth! She is broad and strong,
produces really nice fleece on lambs, is a
granddaughter of
outstanding foundation ewe Jager Farm's
Solee. This
year was Duet’s final act, and she gave us just what
we asked for—at eleven years of age, she gave us her
a colored ewe lamb to carry on her regal
tradition!!! Now she’s in retirement here, living
out the rest of her live as our matriarch |
