Generally, what I do with lambs, is take "right of first refusal" on lambs, and keep a list of who is interested in which lambs. As they mature, I send updated photos to interested folks on the lists, and then they have, in turn, the opportunity to buy the lamb or not. It costs nothing to be on this right of first refusal list, but in effect, reserves the lamb for you. Once the lamb is 3 or 4 months old, you will be contacted and can opt to buy or get off the list. Please contact me if you want to be on the list for lambs in the spring and I will add your name. You will be contacted in order.
I only sell lambs I would buy myself. All lambs with unacceptable fleece, markings, conformation, or other qualities I deem less than first class are culled and eaten. I do not sell bargain sheep. I will occasionally sell wethers for pets or lawnmowers, but that is very rare. I almost never have lambs for other people's freezers...but feel free to ask: you never know!
