Welcome to ISBONA
The purpose of the Icelandic Sheep Breeders of North America is to preserve and protect the purebred Icelandic sheep breed in North America; to facilitate registration and pedigree information for the breed; to provide information about Icelandic sheep to the general public and to facilitate the exchange of information between members and breeders. ISBONA also promotes the special attributes and products of these unique sheep. Membership is open to anyone with an interest in supporting our mission. You do not even need to own sheep!
You can search for Icelandic sheep breeders and members in our Members Directory. Search by location, types of products and more via keywords.
