LAMB
Our lambs & goats are grass-fed from birth on 220 acres of certified-organic perennial pasture. Free choice to Redmond trace mineral salt mix & OMRI-certified kelp supplements are offered to our livestock to ensure a healthy balance of minerals in their diet, resulting in nutrient dense meat.
Lambs are “grazers,” and able to sustain themselves well on a diet of pure leafy greens. As such, mint creek lambs are all 100% grass-fed. After over twenty years of raising sheep on our Illinois pastureland, we’ve developed a mint creek breed of sheep. This special mint creek crossbreed has been influenced by many different breeds including East Friesan, Dorset, Texel, Cheviot, Barbados, Southdown, Hampshire, Suffolk, & Dorper genetics. The signature Mint Creek sheep is excellent at pasture foraging, hearty in constitution, smaller & leaner than the average meat sheep, and far tastier!

“We tried the goat stew meat and it was awesome. I have never had goat before and now I am sold. Although I have to say, I am sure your goat is better than what you normally get!”
