Breeding priorities of our farm

FAQs - Purchasing from Kind Horn Farm

Our breeding plan is for a well rounded Icelandic sheep.  This means to us that we do not breed for one thing (meat, fiber, milk) exclusively.  We need our sheep to be healthy and well conformed, most importantly.  For our farm, meat and fiber are of equal importance.  With our AI breeding program, we are able to improve carcass qualities very quickly.   We do sell freezer lambs, and thus breed  for meaty lambs.  We are not doing any dairying right now, but milkiness of ewes is essential none the less to produce fast growing twins.  So, all of these are important.  We are selling good, well rounded Icelandic breeding stock, not just meat or fiber sheep.   Being an organic farm, we also place high value on parasite resistance!
