Why Choose our Breeding Stock?

                 At Ledgewood Farm, we are committed to the ongoing improvement of the breed and make a point  to cull animals that do not meet our own stringent standards for breeding quality. Sheep that we feel have nothing to offer to the betterment of the breed become pets or head to the butcher, not the flocks of our customers! Furthermore, we offer fair, affordable prices with a variety of discount options, as well as our ongoing shepherd support. Our registered breeding stock comes with health papers, a fertility guarantee and a 14 day health guarantee.

Greetings and Welcome

to Ledgewood Farm!

Sales and Reservations

                 Lamb reservations operate on a “first come, first served” basis. To reserve your lambs please contact me by email or phone indicating your preference. The first person to place a reservation gets first pick of the lambs, (after me of course!) second reservation gets second pick of all the lambs, etc. A refundable $75 deposit is required to place your name on the reservation list. If you reserve a lamb and choose not to purchase one, your deposit will be returned. If you place a reservation and do decide to buy a lamb, then your deposit will be applied towards the full purchase price.

                 When all of the lambs are on the ground in the spring we will send out the lamblist with photos and descriptions to those who have reserved lambs in advance. Once these buyers have made their selections, the lamblist will be posted on our website. We recommend staying current with the Lambing Journal so that you’ll have ample time to ponder the possibilities before the list is posted and you need to make a decision.

                 Once you choose the sheep that you would like to purchase, a non refundable deposit of no less than 1/3 of the total purchase price will be due. You may complete payment at your discretion, but payment must be completed before your sheep can go home with you!

 

                 Thank you for considering Ledgewood Farm. Please feel free to contact us with any questions as you peruse our site.

             Located on the site of historic Roberts Farm just 3 miles from the quaint village center of Putney, Vermont, Ledgewood Farm has been breeding Icelandic sheep since the fall of 2004. Since then we have gained certification in FAMANCHA management of haemonchus contortus and vaginal artificial insemination of ewes with frozen semen (VAI.) The learning curve has been a steep one for us here, and after working with a mixed flock for 3 years, we have decided to focus our efforts exclusively on polled sheep. Our ongoing goal is to produce outstanding Icelandics while concurrently utilizing them -true to their heritage- as the triple purpose breed that they are heralded to be.

                 We use herbal and organic products whenever possible, and our flock management is almost exclusively pasture based.
