What beautiful pictures!! We have had so little snow here. It has been a more typical Kansas winter. I do miss all the white from last year. But I sure don't miss the mud!! Happy New Year!
The sheep look healthy and happy in their wool coats. I was really worried about having just the shelter for the sheep this winter. Now I am kind of happy that we couldn't shear this fall. Now they have full fleece. The frosty trees are beautiful. Happy New Year! How is Bells foot?
Terri, Your pictures are so beautiful. If I had scenes around here like that, I'd be getting my paintbrushes out! I think the picture of the goose and sheep is one that should be on a canvas - as Thunder with the ewes in front of the white building would be a beautiful painting too! Your sheep are so beautiful. I have had a couple of calls in the past few months of people looking for sheep (that we didn't have.. colored sheep, we only had white ones for sale at the time) Anyways, I hope you don't mind that i have been passing your name on to them.. I didn't know what you had for sale, but knew they couldn't go wrong with your sheep! I hope you have a great 2011! (ps.loved the shearing pics too!)
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. Welcome to Red Brick Road Farm!Questions?rbrfarm@centurylink.net
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.
