Whole Lamb and Goat
Navajo-Churro lamb and Boer goat are available by the whole animal for $8/lb based on hanging weight.
The hanging weight for whole lambs typically range from 30 to 40 lbs. Sometimes they are larger. Our lambs are smaller than commercial lamb and thus all cuts will be proportionally smaller.
Lamb cut and wrap sheet is available here.
The hanging weight for whole goats typically range from 40 to 50 lbs.
Goat cut and wrap sheet is available here.
Our Breeds
Purebred Navajo-Churro Lamb
Sweet, mild, and clean tasting. Navajo-Churro Lamb is recognized on the Slow Food USA Ark of Taste as a unique and exceptional taste.
Boer Goat
One of the premier meat goat breeds with a mild taste. We keep our bucks separated from the growing meat goats so their "stink" does not impart a flavor on the meat.
What Our Lambs Eat
Our lambs are 100% grass fed and finished living in pasture their entire life. The pastures sustain them during Spring and Winter. In Summer we supplement them with our home grown and neighbor's hay. Our pastures have a mixture of plants such as rye, plantain, wild oat, johnson grass, vetch, clover, and mustard. The sheep seem to particularly enjoy broadleaf weeds and will eat them first before touching any of the other forage. They also eat young star thistle. In mid-summer the sheep like to stand on their hind legs and eat the leaves of our english walnut and almond trees. I have even seen them put their front feet on another sheep's back so they can reach higher branches. Some of the sheep also eat the leaves of black walnut trees. I have learned that black walnut leaves and husk are used as a natural wormer - I think the sheep must know this instinctually and "self-medicate" when they need parasites removed.
What Our Goats Eat
Our goats are grass fed and finished living in pasture their entire life. As with the sheep, the pasture provides the bulk of their diet during Spring and Winter and they get our home grown and neighbor's hay in Summer. Boer goats have been bred to have multiple, rapidly growing kids and as a breed require a small amount of grain while lactating to support their offspring. We are working on developing a line of Boer goats that do not require this supplement - but have only been at it for a short time. Our goal is 100% grass fed and finished and we are selecting for breeding stock that do well under that feeding regime. But in the meantime we won't let a doe go hungry because of her genetics.
