icelandic sheep for sale
This year’s crop of Icelandics is the best so far! All are high percentage AI from a number of Iceland’s top sires, and from ewes that have proven themselves on my farm. The sires were chosen for their colors, for milking abilities of their daughters, and of course (with the exception of the leaders), for meat quality. These lambs are all growing extremely well, and none have required worming.
