ICELANDICS,
home of high quality purebred
ICELANDIC SHEEP,
one of the most hardy and useful
breeds of sheep in the world today.
This highly intelligent, interactive
breed is known for it's colorful wool,
tender fine flavored meat, easy
lambing, fast growth, and
excellent dairy capabilities.
Northern Maine Icelandics
specializes in offering the very best
of the icelandic breed to only a few
discriminating customers every year.
Trained in the Icelandic method of selecting and evaluating for the finest examples of this breed, we use semen from Icelands finest rams in a new, state of the art vaginal AI procedure we are field testing for it's developer, research scientist and veterinarian
Thorstein Olafsson, PHD.
The application of these new methods,
as well as the knowledgeable use of other aspects of breeding and animal husbandry
has given our shepherd the distinction of
having produced an Icelandic ram with the
greatest statistical measurements known
anywhere in the world in the last five years.
Here at
NORTHERN MAINE ICELANDICS,
we specifically breed for a superb world-class meat conformation, with heavy muscling and little fat, but without ignoring wool quality, mothering, or milking abilities.

NOTE!!
I have shut down my sheep business in order to devote more time to my jewelry business. I sold the whole flock to THE lAVENDER FLEECE. Laurie is interested in carrying on my work and has a burning desire to see the breed improved. My website will stay up for educational purposes.
Who knows...I may be back!!
(Note: year 2008...I am indeed maintaining a small, high quality flock, but I am not selling any sheep at this time!) Please visit
