All of our rams are enrolled in the Voluntary Scrapie Flock Certification Program VSFCP). Our flock was certified on October 10, 2006. However, you do not need to be enrolled in the scrapie program to purchase any of these fine rams, including any VAI rams. Our breeding program emphasizes leadersheep genetics, which include eight leadersheep blood lines from Iceland: Ari, Biskup, Blesi, Geri, Leifur, Prestur, Skumur, and Tigull.

The yearling rams are now ready to leave the farm as breeding rams for this Fall. We have maintained these rams over the winter to observe their horn growth. The horns on these rams have adequate clearance and should not require trimming as they age. A deposit of $100 will reserve the ram of your choice. We offer a 10% discount for multiple sheep purchases if you also want to purchase a ewe lamb, and accept Credit Cards (via paypal), PayPal, or Personal Checks as payment. All yearling rams are guaranteed to be in excellent health and to be fertile. They are registered as purebred Icelandics with the CLRC. The wethered rams are not fertile (duh!) and will make great fiber sheep or companion sheep. Don't forget to check out the ewe and lamb lists. Email David A. Nelson or call 651-674-5920 to enquire further about any of these rams. Feel free to visit our farm and inspect the rams up close.
