The puppies are 24 days old and had their first "solid" meal today, Iams puppy kibble mixed with hot water and powdered milk, all blended into a delicious mushy mess. After they were done wallowing in it, growling, slurping and yelping, I let Belle back into the barn to clean them all up.
They have been in the barn since they were born, in a large baby pool with a red heat lamb. We've had temps near zero, but they seem to be plenty warm. I rarely see them directly under the lamp.
They are such an adorable bunch! All chunky, active and thriving. Belle is doing great as a first time mother. She had the barn to herself for the first couple of weeks, but now it's open and the sheep come and go.
Please inquire if you are interested, we have 1 female and males left, they are $350 each and should make excellent LGD's.
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.
