Quick Facts About Icelandic Sheep

MEAT AND PELT QUALITY
Triple purpose breed with emphasis on meat- improved by selection; the best sires are made available to breeders in Iceland via artificial insemination. We now have available semen from these top sires for sale in the USA.
Excellent carcass - dresses out at 45%, fine round bone and broad deep bodied conformation, yields a higher meat to bone ratio.	Shorn ewes, showing the meat conformation of this breed
Gourmet quality meat - fine texture and light delicate flavor with no "muttony" taste, qualifies this meat to be featured in five-star restaurants.
Luxurious pelts - supple, soft, lustrous silky pelts lead the pelt market in price worldwide. They are used by the garment industry and for interior decorative wall hangings and pillows. Fewer hair follicles per inch means a pelt that is supple enough to be made into coats, vests, and trim. Look and feels like fur. Available in a wide range of natural colors.
