Our Lamb
Our goal is to raise high-quality, healthful, farm-to-table lamb. Our lamb is free-range, pasture-raised with no pesticides or herbicides used on pasture, unaltered, and hormone-free.
Our breeding flock is a group of Dorper-Katahdin hair sheep selected to provide a juicy, mild/non-mutton tasting, high yielding meat that does not disappoint!
STRAIGht-forward pricing
Price: $3.50/lb
Our lamb is sold live. That means you pay for the gross weight (aka hoof weight).
Average weight of our live lamb is typically 65-90lbs.
What you take home processed (called "carcass weight") is typically 50% of gross weight so use that figure to decide how much meat you want
With advanced notice (2-3 mos ahead of desired pick up date) we will take your lamb for processing to Valley Meats. Note: Additional $70 processing fee (paid to Valley Meats when you pick up from Valley Meats at 101 Meigs Ln, Dayton, VA 22821).
