Our Flock of Icelandic Sheep with Spring Lambs

With greater than 1100 years of history the Icelandic sheep is one of the earth's oldest most pure breed of sheep. Introduced to Iceland by the Vikings the Icelandic is coveted for it's gourmet grass fed lamb meat ,dual wool fibers and highly nutritious milk.

Icelandics are a mid-sized breed with ewes averaging 130-160 pounds, and rams averaging 180-220 pounds. Conformation is generally short legged and stocky. The face and legs are free of wool. The fleece is dual-coated and comes in white as well as a range of browns, grays and blacks. There are both horned and polled strains. Left unshorn for the winter, the breed is very cold hardy.

Dana Lynn Farms in Glover Vermont raises purebred icelandic sheep and grass fed lamb for discerning gourmet cooks and chefs. We also sell wool to artisans. Please contact us with sincere inquiries..

i wanted some of thses guys! do you have to shear these guys or no?cheers!

[GloVermont2]

A cold climate is their preferred habitat so we shear the adults one time in mid-spring. They have a dual wool with a wide variety of color variations in the browns and blacks. Natural fiber artisans like the icelandics wool.

Dana and I drop by your channel a couple times per month. Take care and thanks :)
