A word of advice

We offer as much help as possible to new sheep owners and would be more than happy to answer any questions. It's our goal to make owning Icelandic a success! Please see our list of resources to learn more about Icelandic sheep and ways to profit from them.

If you have never owned sheep before PLEASE make sure to learn about them.  Find a person that has sheep or goats and mentor them. Contact you local county extension office. Find a large animal vet who will work closely with you. Buy books to keep on hand for emergencies. Learn ways that you can market and advertise your sheep. Most of all DO IT FOR FUN! Owning sheep can be incredibly rewarding.

Be Prepared! Don't bring an animal home before obtaining proper fencing and shelter. Have a medical kit ready for emergencies and DON'T forget to worm! It is good practice to quarantine and worm  sheep after purchase. No matter what farm they come from! I learned this the hard way! My first Icelandic purchase ended 3 weeks after getting them home when they died of a parasite overload.

Some people use natural practices to eradicate worms and others use chemicals. We avoid chemicals, unless we have no other option, to save an animals life. If you decide to use chemicals DO use them properly. This requires you to weigh the sheep. Learn how to check for signs of anemia caused by intestinal worms (Famacha scoring) . Your vet or local extension office will help you decide on a worming routine.

Also. be aware that Icelandic sheep are not like other breeds. They come from a climate that is very different. These sheep are incredibly hardy and have many wonderful attributes, but keep your expectations reasonable when considering this breed. They grow astonishing amounts of wool, they are sensitive to the high concentration of worms found in the United States, and they have high requirement for Selenium. We give BOSE injections to our animals to provide the additional Selenium they require.
