Only the senior rams produce horns like this. They are beautiful and heavy with a full spiral curl. This size is rarely available.

$100 per pair (plus actual shipping costs)

4. Small Horns

These are the horns from older lambs. They are slightly smaller than the Medium size, but have a similar crescent-shaped curve. We usually have a few of these available.

$15 per pair (plus actual shipping costs)

3. Medium Horns

These may be either the horns of an adult ewe or the horns of an adolescent ram. These usually have a smooth, crescent-shaped curve that fits well into the hand. This is our most common size.

$25 per pair (plus actual shipping costs)

2. Large Horns

Horns of an adult ram, over 1 year old. These have a nice heft and curl to them. This size is only occasionally available.

#1. Extra Large Skull

These skulls are from adult rams. They are full size and have the most development of the horn area.

2. Medium Skull

These skulls are from adolescent sheep (older lambs or young adults). They are a little larger and have a bit more horn length than the small size. The horn length and width varies depending whether the skull is from a ewe lamb or a ram lamb.

Horns

Purebred Icelandic sheep in Virginia’s heartland

A group of lambs crowded around a feeder exhibit the lushness and variety of Icelandic pelts.

Pelts, Horns, & Skulls

We believe in honoring the sacrifice of our meat animals by wasting as little as possible.

There is no end to the versatility of the Icelandic sheep. Their pelts, horns, skulls, and bones provide valuable materials for craftspeople of all types.

If you have a specific request that you don’t see listed below, feel free to ask. We might be able to provide it.

Please contact me before paying to make sure the item you want is still available!

Payment Methods

I accept checks (made out to “Nancy Chase”), money orders, and PayPal. Actual shipping costs are added to the cost of each item.

We usually have a variety of skulls to sell, in several sizes. All of our skulls are naturally weathered outside. No chemicals are used in their cleaning.

The photos below are examples only, and may not be the exact skulls that are currently available. Please contact me before ordering, and I’ll be happy to send you photos of the exact skulls I have in stock.

Pelts

We have a limited number of hides available each year. They are for sale as salted hides. Try your hand at tanning one yourself, or buy one inexpensively from me and send it out to be professionally tanned into a luscious, soft pelt. I will be happy to ship your hide directly to the tannery for you.

Hides are priced at $30 each (plus shipping).

The Icelandic hides sell quickly, but I do occasionally have access to hides from other types of sheep as well, so if you’re interested, let me know.

5. Extra-Small Horns

These are the horns from very young lambs. They are just little nubbins, around 2”-3” long, but are a good source of horn material for smaller crafts, like buttons or jewelry. We usually have a few of these available.

$10 per pair (plus actual shipping costs)

We usually have a selection of horns to sell. They may be any size, from little lamb nubs to the massive curls of a senior ram. They also come in a variety of natural colors, including striped! They are priced according to size.

The photos below are examples only, and may not be the exact horns that are currently available. Please contact me before ordering, and I’ll be happy to send you photos of the exact horns I have in stock.

3. Small Skull

These delicate, light-as-a-feather little skulls are from young lambs.
