Sheepfarming is the main subject of the farm. The sheep count about 100, and stay during the winter at home on the field or in the sheephouse, depending on the weather. After the lambing- season is finished (beginning of June) the sheep are taken out of the fields and spend the summer running free in the mountain Hamraheiði above the farm.

There are also a few calves, two cows and 15 wild mares on the farm plus two tamed horses. The two tamed ones are used for the sheepcollection in the autumn as well as the riding tours of the family during the summer. The milk from the two cows is used at home; for the family and guests and the small calves also get their share.

The farm is run by a family. It belongs to the couple Magnús Óskarsson (1947) and Elín Sigurðardóttir (1945), but they moved to Skagafjörður from Húsavík in 1979 when they bought the farm. After their studies in Denmark and Britain they both worked in Húsavík as primaryschool-teachers. Besides the farmwork they have continued working as teachers.
