REGISTERED ICELANDIC SHEEP
FIBER AND BREEDING STOCK

Welcome to Ridge Top Icelandics...

WINTER 2009

We have a small flock of registered Icelandic sheep including 25 ewes, 4 rams, and 12 wethers. We did not be breed any of our ewes this year, so there will be no little lambs this Spring. With the expense of hay and the economic conditions this year, it did not seem to be a very good idea to add 20 or more new lambs that we possibly would not be able to sell. On our “Sales” page there is a list of beautiful two and three year old ewes. We do plan to breed our ewes this Fall and will have some wonderful lambs in the Spring of 2010.

We belong to the Icelandic Sheep Breeders of America (their website is: www.isbona.com) , and we are also a member of the Wisconsin Sheep Breeders Association.

Our sheep are registered through the Canadian Livestock Records Corporation (CLRC).

Our farm is located in Rising Sun, Wisconsin (100 miles west of Madison and 50 miles south of LaCrosse.

Our plan is to raise and sell quality breeding stock and quality fleeces. We have a closed flock (we are not bringing any new sheep in). We keep strict records on our breeding practices.

We welcome any questions or visits to our farm. We want to insure that whoever we sell any of our sheep to will love them and care for them as much as we do.
