Berks County Homestead Lamb Share

Order how many half shares you’d like (2 = whole lamb, 1 = half).

This Polypay/East Friesian cross lamb is pasturing in Berks County on its choice of pasture and locally-grown hay. Polypay is a multipurpose sheep bred for its meat and wool. The lamb will be 6-8 months at harvest - a very standard time for tender meat and mild flavor without much “sheepiness.” Expected hanging weight is 45-50lbs. This lamb was raised healthfully and lovingly with no vaccines, no antibiotics and no deworming meds.

The listed price is the initial deposit. When all shares of a lamb are ordered and deposits collected, a harvest date will be set. Total price is $12/lb hanging weight which includes everything to get the cuts to your door; you will be billed the difference between that final value and your deposit. Harvest date can be anytime before the end of the year. Reserve your half or whole share now!
