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) have gotten
better every year. Four members of our family are
competitive livestock judges, including
three
current and
former 4-H state champions. 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.
