Walt says we need to have a white sale. No...., not sheets,......sheep. You know, the white kind!
We are trying to make some room for some badgerfaced folks that we have purchased and so, with much hemming and hawing, have decided on three lovely ladies to be sold. This would be an incredible offer for someone wishing to start an icelandic sheep flock with no idea how to get started.
We will be offering three bred ewes to be picked up or delivered the first week of December. Why then? Well, some folks need some time to get a shelter together, some to get fencing secured, others to find a least one reliable hay source. Also, these sheep are seasonal breeders and we will put them with rams the very end of October or very beginning of November. It will give the new shepherds a chance to get to "settle in" with the ewes before lambing in late March or April.
