Velma, our Icelandic Sheepdog joined our family and our farm in August of 2007. She is a very affectionate dog and loves to help out with the chores. Knowing that we'd be interested in puppies in the future, the farmer we purchased Velma from recommended her as she is an excellent representation of the breed. Velma also posseses characteristics the farmer recognized that would make her a good mother and breeder. We are not disappointed. We bred Velma to a registered working border collie, Brownie. Their pups are adorable, have excellent temperments and make wonderful pets or farm dogs. They absolutely love children. There are 3 females and 2 males available. The pups will be ready to go on July 17th. We will worm them and give them their first shot. The pups will also be health checked by our vets. The pups are $250.00 each. A deposit of $50.00 will reserve your puppy. It very interesting to watch their progress. Below are pictures, one when they were first born on 6/3, a picture of Velma who is in excellent condition while taking care of 8 puppies and some of our little stars. The more recent pictures of the puppies were taken on 7/1.

We are currently offering the fine sheep listed below for sale. We understand that starting a flock or making additions to your current flock are decisions not to be entered into lightly.
Why Icelandics? Icelandics are a triple purpose breed, providing excellent wool, milk and gourmet meat. They are excellent foragers that do well on grass (hay in the non grazing months) and minerals alone. We do not grain our sheep! Icelandics are hardy sheep. Our sheep live outdoors year round with shelters to get out of the driving rains or wet, heavy lake effect snows. The ewes are excellent mothers, protective and nurturing with their lambs, but not aggressive toward us. Lambs are raised on mother's milk, pasture and minerals, reaching a finish weight by mid to late summer. Our sheep have helped to turn our abandoned over grown farm into a farm again with beautiful pastures. We are very pleased with our sheep.
Why buy from us? We want you to be satisfied for your sheep! When building our flock, which is a never ending process, we select for carcass quality, wool quality and milkiness of dams. The lambs are from our best crosses. They are well grown with excellent fleeces and confirmation. The adult sheep offered for sale meet the criteria of animals we would keep for our own flock, that's why we've had them for several years. The rams and ewes are proven breeders with those excellent characteristics we select for. We have offspring from the ewes and rams in our flock which is why we are offering them for sale. We do not sell our culls, they go to the butcher. We are available to share our experience and answer your questions until you do not need us anymore.
We offer a 10% discount on 3 or more sheep. For a limited time while stock is available, we are offering an unrelated ram lamb for 50% off (10% off doesn't apply to half price ram lamb) with the purchase of 3 or more sheep. A non-refundable deposit of 1/3 will hold your sheep until they leave our farm. We will mark the sheep as reserved for 7 business days. Upon receiving your deposit within this time frame, your new addition will be marked as pending until it leaves our farm. The balance is due upon the departure of the sheep. We accept checks, cash or money orders. If for some reason the sheep becomes unavailable, your deposit will be refunded.
Unregistered sheep will have their scrapies tag, CDT and will be wormed for you. In addition to the above, registered sheep will have their tattoos and the registration will be transferred to you. Health Certificates from our veterinarian will be provided for an additional fee.
