Here's the info on our flock:
These lambs were born in winter and spring 2023-2024 and have been grazing all through the grass-growing seasons. They are a mix of animals from our own flock and our friend's flock, a flock which we have contributed to and mixed animals with over the years! Along with grass, these lambs eat a wide range of forbs and herbs in their pasture and we give them kelp, salt, and other basic mineral supplements to ensure their health. They eat a small amount of grain daily, roughly 1/4 cup. The flock gets a new slice of our pastureland every few days. Currently they eating stock piled pasture and supplemented on hay that we buy from our organically farming neighbors, Owen Hartz and family in Morgantown.
Buying Lamb:
We will have lamb available the very end of 2024, between Christmas and New Year's. We are selling them as whole lambs, meaning you get to order the cuts and type of processing you prefer. We like to get a mixture of roasts, ground lamb, ribs, cubed stew meat, and chops. Since we starting raising them lamb has become our favorite meat and with a meal of potatoes, lamb burgers and tomatoes and salad we can eat food that was 100% raised on the farm.
We charge $7.10 per pound hanging weight and a $95 butchering fee. We're expecting our lambs to have hanging weights between 30 and 50 lb.
If you would also like the pelt or sheepskin, you can buy one for the reduced price of $110 if you are already buying a whole lamb. Since we currently have a small stock of pelts, you could get the pelt immediately along with your lamb deposit and payment as long as our current supply lasts.
We are now asking for $100 deposits for the lamb, either paid here or with cash or check to us in person. The remainder of payment will be due upon receipt of your meat. Cash or check preferred.
Other info:
You'll need about 2 cubic feet of freezer space for the cuts from one whole lamb.
You can split the lamb with someone else, but just have one person pay and communicate with us or the butcher about processing and cuts.
Hanging weight is the weight of the animal minus the pelt, the feet, organs and other inedible parts. The total weight of your cuts will be slightly less than the hanging weight due to deboning & trimming.
We sell pelts separately as well for $135 each.
Lamb Pelt
