This Years Highlights

April 24, 2010

Most of our VAI lambs have arrived. We currently have a ewe lamb from Smyrill, a ewe lamb from Dokkvi, and a ram and ewe lamb from Krokur. We are waiting for our Undri lamb(s) to arrive. Very excited about all of these!

April 8, 2010

Spring is here, and so are the lambs! Our first AI lambs from Krokur were born this morning; a white ewe and a black/grey ram. Check back as more lambs arrive!

Welcome to Rum River Icelandics

Welcome! Here at RRI, we sell registered purebred Icelandic Sheep. Our primary goal is to provide you with the freshest and finest bloodlines to improve your flock, or to start you off with the best. We began VAI (Vaginal Artificial Insemination) in 2007 and will continue to use this method as our first choice for breeding. What this means is that we can tailor our breeding preferences year by year, ewe by ewe, introducing and maintaining bloodlines within the flock.

Please take a look at the VAI Sires used for the 2009 VAI Sires Gallery , and then take a look at our 2010 VAI Wish List.

Lambing 2010

The lambs started arriving April 8th with a white ewe and a black/grey ram sired by Krókur (05-803).  With the additions of a white ram lamb sired by Prins, a black badgerface ewe sired by Dokkvi, and a moorit ewe sired by Smyrill, we are building our stock with very nice bloodlines from some of Iceland's finest!  We also have several ewes that were farm bred last fall with our Prinsson (a black/grey yearling sired by Prins).

Be sure to check out our 2010 VAI Wish List! We are extemely excited about Sokki's size and Grabotni's color! We are once again requested straws for Prins, as he is such an impressive animal. We are also requesting Raftur, as his size and wool characteristics are always a plus in any flock.

Now offering Locker Lambs - Fall 2010

This fall we will be offering a limited number of our spring lambs as locker lambs. We are currently ironing out the details, so please check back later this spring. If you would like to be put on the priority list, please contact me (my contact information is at the bottom of the page).
