I previously had our sheep stuff on our farm page at https://www.facebook.com/acresofabundancefarm/ but decided to put the sheep on their own page

Still have pork halves available, going in to be processed in Grass Lake this week. Raised with plenty of space of space to move and root around with a traditional corn based feed made at Napoleon feed mill. $3 hang + processing. Expect around 75lbs of bone in cuts for around $450 total. Price will vary by size and I'm expecting these ones to be on the larger size.
Here's a breakdown of one half from our last batch
1.5lbs ribs
5.5lbs shoulder steaks. Delicious on the grill, or turn that into a butt for pulled pork.
18.5lbs chops
15.5lbs sausage
10lbs bacon
4.4lbs smoked hocks
15lbs hams
4.5lbs ham steaks

First lamb of 2026. A single out our new ram from the VA Tech parasite resistance program, so now we have two from that program in our flock. Here's the NSIP details for the new ram. http://nsipsearch.nsip.org/ #!/details/6400452025WRI045

We raise pigs too! Two small batches per year. In the summer and fall they'll get out onto the sheep pastures, during the winter they're in a 40x50 pen which is a lot larger than typical pig housing. They're fed a basic corn based pig feed made for us by Napoleon Feed Mill. I think the combination of having a lot of space and being able to dig and root while eating a traditional pig feed creates a pretty high quality meat product.

We have 1 left, available as a half or whole. Going to Jerome Country market next week for processing.

Price is $3/lb hang weight + processing. Should be around 190lb hang weight so that's $285 per half and processing is usually around $130 per half depending on how you have it done. Those numbers will change depending on the actual final weight. With that hang weight you're looking at around 70lbs of bone in cuts back per half.

Here's one of this years breeding groups out in a surprise snow and an usual cold snap this early in the year. Ended up getting another ram this year from the VA Tech parasite resistance program that's with this group. Here's the NSIP link for the new guy. Not quite as high FEC score as the ram we got last year but still pretty good. This one does have some higher weight gain scores than our other ram. I think the duo will be a good mix for genetics in the flock. http://nsipsearch.nsip.org/ #!/details/6400452025WRI045
