Title

Looking to fill your freezer with meat in the new year? My next batch of lambs are headed off to the butcher on November 19th, 2024, and April 15, 2025. Please choose your butcher date according to when you’d like to add lamb to your freezer.

I breed and raise a flock of triple purpose Navajo Churro and Icelandic sheep outside of Camrose, Alberta. The ewes are bred in the late fall to lamb in the early springtime and by the time the following winter-early spring comes around, the lambs are big enough to make their ultimate sacrifice to put meat on tables and nourish bodies. 

My lambs are rotationally grazed during the summer and then transitioned to hay in the late fall which they will continue to stay on until their time of butcher. Along with the grass/hay, they are finished with a few pounds of rolled barley every day, as well as minerals/salts and water.

From a whole lamb, you can expect 25-30 pounds of meat, and a half lamb expected around 15-25 pounds of meat. Pricing is $9 a pound based off hanging weight, plus cut and wrap fees of $150 plus GST for a whole lamb, and $75 plus GST for a half lamb. All processing is done at Forestburg meats in Forestburg, and takes about two weeks to process and prepare. Once the meat is ready to go, I will pickup your box at Forestburg, and contact you for further info to discuss pickup from the farm
