4-H/FFA Projects
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Why should
I buy a market lamb from you?
Four
factors should influence your decision:
1) Health
Our health program is second to none.
-
Our
sheep don�t have footrot.
-
Our
lambs don�t have club lamb fungus.
-
We
vaccinate for two strains of soremouth.
-
We
provide complete health papers with every lamb we sell.
Nothing
spoils the fun of raising a project animal like having to
deal with health issues, and our objective is to provide you
an animal unlikely to have problems. Every animal we sell
has all recommended vaccinations, has been wormed, and comes
with a complete health record. For more on our health
program,

2) Quality Our lambs are competitive in the
show ring, and (we think) get better every year. Six members of our family are
current or former competitive livestock judges, including four 4-H state
champions and one junior college national champion, and three are currently
judging livestock shows around the Northwest. We won’t offer a lamb for
sale that we don’t think can earn a blue ribbon.
3)
Docility Our
lambs
get a considerable amount of human contact early in life,
and so are �calm� around people. Those who have bought
lambs �off pasture� and have had to gentle a rambunctious
animal will understand why this is important!
4) Service We don�t
consider it an imposition on our time for our market lamb
customers to call us for advice! We�re always happy to
answer your questions.
