We mix the older cull ewes with venison (if we get deer) and beef and lean pork to make sausage and it is very good sausage. We like the lamb for sure but cull ewes bring zippo and we are developing good markets for our 70-100 lbs meat sheep lambs.
Bryce Thank you Bryce. Have you tried eating the cull ewes like you would a lamb and what kind do you raise? There's a farmer down the road that has suffolks. The market for lambs is good for the sellers for sure.
I wonder if tap dancers walk into a room, look at the floor, and think, I'd tap that. I wonder about things.....

I've raised and REALLY like Katahdins, they are a hair sheep. Taste great. Very easy keepers, lamb easy and after their first season usually have twins or triplets. More meat than a Blackbelly. Parasite resistant.
