gah! Adorable.

Icelandics are my fairytale sheep. I've always wanted them but will never get them.

Originally ( years ago) I couldn't find any breeders. When I did find one she wouldn't sell to 4-Her's or FFA kids. Although the next week she was advertising starting flocks in the paper.

Now they are just to small. We like BIG sheep.

greenmulberry congrats on the twins!! Last year was my first year and I had two singles. This year I've had one single and one set of twins so far, one ewe left to lamb. Yours look nice and sturdy and happy, they must be so much fun to watch :)

brownsheep - too bad that breeder wouldn't sell to 4-h or FFA. I know they're small but for me they're a great size.

Norse, I was fortunate to find a good breeder that was selling off her flock and getting out of the business. She had this wonderful momma sheep who had easily twinned 4 times before, so I snatched her up. She is the best mother!!! The only thing is, I didn't know if I wanted horns or not, so I bought both horned and polled, and now I think it would be better to just have the horned, but not a mixed flock. Here is another picture.
