Here at Good Shepherd Farm, our Katahdin lambs are very important. We treat our lambs well. Whether they are being produced to sire your flock, or to fill your plate, we work to ensure you get the highest quality product possible.
Breeding Stock:
To view more about our selection criteria, click on our About Us page, scroll down and read a little bit about our selection goals. The specifics of what those criteria look like are:
1: Must be a healthy animal-these are breeding stock, the higher end of our flock
2: Must be what the customer is looking for-if you say you want a lamb that has excellent parasite resistance, we won't sell you one that has poor resistance, even if it is strong in other traits
3: Must be a quality animal-we don't sell just any animal that is born in our flock. For example, if it is poor quality in growth, we can have it processed into high-quality meat for our meat customers.
4: Must be an animal we would be willing to purchase for use in our flock. One of our major criteria is simply a question: "If I purchased this animal, after giving the impression that I am giving to my customer, would I be satisfied with this animal?" We want you to be happy with our stock. If our stock won't fit what you are looking for, we will tell you.
Meat Lambs:
We only sell our natural lambs for meat. If the lamb had to have antibiotics to maintain the animal's well-being, it is automatically removed from our natural line.
We use no antibiotics, hormones, steroids, GMO's or grain for our lambs. We do not use herbicides, fungicides, pesticides, or insecticides. Our sheep are given high-quality Redmond's mineral salt to consume as well as clean well water to drink. All this is done to produce the highest quality meat possible for you, the consumer.
