Meat! The reason we started raising Icelandic sheep is the excellent quality of the meat! According to the Icelandic Sheep Breeders of North America: "The Icelandic breed is considered a mountain breed, and historically mountain breeds have been milder in flavor, and leaner than the lowland breeds. The meat is indeed very tender with a mild flavor, and is generally described as gourmet meat. With the leaner, European style carcass, and the mild flavor, Icelandic lamb can appeal to the palate of even those consumers who avow they "just don't like lamb." We believe that this lamb is far superior to anything available in a grocery store.
Each fall we offer delicious, fresh, locally pastured LAMB for sale. Our gourmet Icelandic lamb is totally GRASS FED, and all of our sheep have access to free-choice natural mineral supplements which include salt, kelp, and other natural minerals. We offer lamb by the whole or half animal. Cuts are done to customer specifications and packed for pickup directly at the butcher. Contact us for more details.
Our current price is 8.00 per pound, based on hanging weight. Hanging weight is the weight of the meat after the initial skinning and cleaning process. Actual hanging weights will not be known until the lamb is sent to the butcher, but usually range from 35-50 pounds for a whole lamb. Processed weight (what you take home) is roughly 65% of the hanging weight. Please contact us to reserve your lamb now.
