I thought that SURELY we'd have lambs by now. Good Lord! The girls are holding out on me again. It happens every spring. They love to torture me, and test my patience. They are scheming to all lamb the same day. That must be it! There are basketball udders and wide loads in the barnyard. Lambing will begin any second, I'm sure.
The sheep look at me kind of funny when I keep looking at their "barnyard". We are playing the same waiting game. Good luck. I will keep looking for updates. Kelly
Home to a beautiful flock of registered Icelandic Sheep in Northern Illinois. 2011 was is our ninth season of lambing. We’ve worked hard to build a flock that encompasses all the aspects we love about the Icelandic breed--hardiness, exceptional meat conformation, superb maternal instincts, prolificacy and outstanding fleeces. Please look around and feel free to contact me with any questions you might have. We offer quality breeding stock, both mill spun and hand spun yarns, roving, and raw fleeces.

Wondering about the names of our sheep? "Most" of our sheep are named according to the year they were born, especially those born here on our farm. Our first lambs had "A" names, so this being our 6th year, our lambs all have "F" names. It makes it easy for us when looking at our flock to know the age of the sheep. The sheep that we bring in to our flock sometimes have their own names, or I'll rename them according to our flock year. On this blog, I'm trying to post the oldest ewes first, then I'll move on to rams, then lambs.
