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!
