What’s Available
-
Purchasing a Whole lamb includes approximately 50 pounds of meat. You will get a variety of cuts including the shoulder, ribs, loin, leg, and shanks of the animal.
I will talk you through some of the cut options before hand and the processor will contact you directly to get your final breakdown.
Price includes the cost of the animal as well as $150 for butcher and processing from our recommended processor (Keller Meats). If you are interested in self butchering or finding a different processor, please get in touch for pricing.
This is a great option for purchasing lamb in a cost conscious way since the price averages out to just $9.00 per pound. That price is low even for ground lamb by the pound. But by comparison, lamb chops, the prime cut of meat on a lamb, often sell for $18 or $19 per pound if purchased on their own.
-
Purchasing a Half lamb includes approximately 25 pounds of meat. You will get a variety of cuts including the shoulder, ribs, loin, leg, and shanks of the animal.
I will talk you through some of the cut options before hand and get your final breakdown to relay to the processor. I will contact you when your half lamb is ready for pickup or we will arrange delivery.
Price includes half the cost of the animal as well as $75 for butcher and processing from our recommended processor (Keller Meats). If you are interested in self butchering or finding a different processor, please get in touch for pricing.
-
Ground lamb is packaged in one pound vacuum sealed bags.
Occasionally when I have a lamb processed and I sell it by the cuts instead of half or whole, I will have ground lamb available.
Ground lamb is very versatile and can be mixed in with your regular recipes as a replacement for any ground red meat. We find it especially wonderful when made into meat balls or as part of a meat loaf mixed with beef.
-
Occasionally, when I sell just half of a lamb, I will have cuts from the other half available for sale.
Please contact me if you are interested in specific cuts so that I can give you my available inventory.
Many people like this option when they want just a specific cut of meat for a special occasion.
Live Sheep For Sale
Market Lambs
LAMBS AVAILABLE NOW (01/20/2025)
If you are interested in lambs for 4-h, please take note of your county’s birth date requirements
My sheep are Polypay whitefaced lambs and are usually ready to go to their new home as feeder lambs 2 months after they are born.
If you are looking for market lambs that are ready for harvest, oldest lambs should be 60 lbs to 80 lbs by Easter 2025. Yeild on a lamb is about 45% of live weight, so think about how much meat you want to end up with and we can work backwards from there.
Ewe Lambs
I will evaluate my stock of lambs for possible breeding ewes after they are weaned.
If you are interested in ewe lambs for breeding purposes, please click the “ewe lambs” button below and make an inquiry. These lambs will not be ready to breed until at least September 2025 if not a little later, so keep that in mind.
This round of lambs is all 100% Polypay and I would recommend you only buy twins or triplets, no singles, if you are interested in breeding (number of lambs per lambing can be genetic).
In the future I will have some lambs that are out of my 100% Polypay rams and my 50% Ile De France 50% Polypay/Ile De France/Dorset ewes if you are interested in that mix and have time to wait until my next breeding.
Ram Lambs
Ram lambs must be reserved.
I castrate all of my ram lambs at 4-5 days old (making them whethers and useless for breeding) unless there is an existing inquiry about keeping them as rams, so please reach out as soon as possible for pricing, to come see my sheep, or with intent to purchase ram lambs.
I will require a 20% holding fee because I do not normally keep ram lambs and it is extra management on my part to keep them separate from the rest of the flock.
