Rocky Hollow Farm raises Katahdins, a breed of hair sheep for meat production. Katahdins shed their thick coat in the spring and don’t need shearing. Because of the reduced lanolin in their coats, there seems to be a milder flavor to their meat. This allows them to be
raised to a larger size (100-130 lbs) without losing that mild lamb taste and tenderness. Occasionally we add carefully selected wool breeds and wool/hair crosses to improve specific production traits while still not sacrificing that mild lamb flavor. To further ensure a delicious and mild flavored meat, providing a reduced or stress free life cycle - from beginning to end - is a high priority on our farm. The flock of hair sheep at Rocky Hollow Farm are raised naturally with no added hormones or antibiotics. Hair sheep are very hardy and require less specialized care than wool sheep breeds sometimes do. Because this is a relatively small flock, all sheep receive friendly one-on-one care and attention. Prepare and serve lamb just as you would any other lean meat – Do not overcook. Mild tasting lamb from Rocky Hollow Farm does not require any special spices or treatments to serve for a delicious meal! In fact, lamb burgers are the most popular serving suggestion. Lamb is great for carrying and complimenting many flavors, so go ahead and experiment. Lamb is served world-wide - explore a new culture and try a new recipe for dinner tonight! Rocky Hollow Farm also offers tanned sheepskins and home canned chutneys when available. All meats are pre-packaged and frozen, available on farm year-round by appointment only. Delivery is possible – just ask! Occasional whole or half animal sales are also possible. All lamb processing is provided by Swanks Meats, St. Croix Falls, WI. Processing appointments are very limited, so call Rocky Hollow Farm ahead to check availability. Processing is done on a traditional seasonal basis - in the fall, during winter and early spring. Most lamb meat is wrapped in good old fashioned white butcher paper to help reduce plastic waste in landfills. AVAILABILITY:

Rocky Hollow Farm is a one woman operation on 20 acres of the 130+ year old Boe Family Homestead est. 1883 with a focus on sustainability - soil & woodlot health, pollinator protection, native plant restoration, and rotational grazing. We also specialize in creative reuse of materials that would otherwise end up in a landfill. This even includes a house built in 1955 that came from 90 miles away to become our home. Look for future interesting and fun stories about repurposing farm projects!
