Circle A

Circle A Raises grass-fed Katahdin lamb and free-range pork. Adams family with a lil' farm raising pastured lamb, pork, and eggs.

Our little sheep herd is full of Katahdins, with lone goat to fend off the coyotes. The daddy sheep (ram) is affectionately known as Tyco Bah-hay, and the lead ewe is Rahab. Rahab, our one brown patched sheep, is the most curious and determined to get our spare apples and other sweet treats. She's also prolific, lambing triplets last March.

This recipe is the most delicious way I've tried to cook lamb ribs! I can't stand all that fat on lamb ribs, but when eating these ribs, it's easy to separate the meat from the fat.
The seasoning and crispiness were a fabulous compliment to our delicate tasting lamb.
It's not too late to reserve a lamb. They've been taken to the butcher, so specific cut requests are no longer accepted.

The lamb is nicely charred and crispy on the surface, its meat tender and moist.

Love gyros? Here’s a way to use ground lamb:

Make restaurant worthy homemade gyro meat and gyros -flat breads filled to bursting with garlicky, herbed, crisped strips of Greek/Lebanese meatloaf.

Sales for lamb are now closed, but reservations for taking a lamb home in the spring or the meat from the butcher in a year are welcome.

10/10/2017

Deadline for lamb reservations is October 24th! Have you ever had the chance to compare "lamb" with "mutton"?

Reservations available for grass-fed lamb available, hopefully, for Christmas dinner (and save some for Easter/Passover).

With neither artificial hormones nor antibiotics or any other yucky icky additives (not even Doritos or Cheetos), these pasture raised lambs have enjoyed the good life, and as the Katahdin breed, provide mild, non-gamey meat.

$4/lb hanging weight + $85 butcher fee. Hanging weight last season ranged from 55-70 lbs. Can order 1/2 or whole lamb.
25-30% of weight is lost to processing. For the original weight of the lamb, multiply hanging weight by 1.7.
$80 deposit for whole and $40 for half.
For a 55 lb hanging weight, the final cost of meat, including butcher fee, is $7.92/lb. (The rate would decrease as the lamb increases, due to the dilution of the butcher fee.)

Requests for a variety of cuts and parts to your preference are welcome (chops, shanks, roasts, sausage, heart, tongue).
The meat will be processed at Garfield Meats, and butcher fee will be given to the shop.

P.S. It's good meat.

Our Story

With a very maternal mare, Cookie, and an opinionated Border Collie, Roxy, to keep an eye on things, we raise a small herd of Katahdin sheep. They’re simply grass-fed. Katahdins are hair sheep, meaning that they shed their wool in the spring. Their meat is mild, lean, and tenderly sweet. Occasionally we breed the ewes with our Icelandic/Soy ram “Dave Ramsey” for a little diversity, but the main ram around here is our snow white Tycoh Bah-hay. Yes, Dave is debt free. The lead ewe is Rahab, who has distinct brown markings that often pass down to her lambs.

One of our side-kicks is W***y, the Brittany/Jack Russel terrier mix, but his assistance is mainly his curiosity of our ovine critters.
