| I want to dedicate this page to all of the wonderful Icelandic sheep who have taught me how to be a shepherdess. And I want to say a big Thank You to fellow shepherd Gary Holcombe (of Northern Maine Icelandics) for raising the bar on quality through the knowledge he has so generously shared on his website. It was with sadness that I learned of Gary's decision to not breed Icelandic sheep at this time (I am still hoping he will get back into it in the near future). I am honored to have sheep of his flock at my farm now and hope to carry on his goal of producing quality Icelandic sheep. With Gary's permission, I am linking here to the pages he so carefully put together that he titled "How Do Your Sheep Compare?" This should serve as a pictorial lesson for all of us as we strive to improve the conformation and quality of the sheep we produce, based on the standards of excellent that Iceland strives for.
