Meat (sheep) Stats 🐑🥩 | How Much Meat do Dorper Sheep Produce?

Hi Friends,

October was pretty low-key on pasture, but I sent a few lambs to processing. I will share meat stats and recipes below! 🐑🥩 Thank you to everyone who purchased during my Autumn livestock sale. Breeding stock is sold out for 2025. Next availability is looking like February 2026!

Grass fed lamb: 110lb at roughly 10 months old.

I sent a group of meat wethers off to processing in October. I aim for 100lb live weight before sending to the butcher, but 90 lb is also a good average.

My best bloodlines will hit this weight on mom’s milk and forage only by about 9-10 months.

A lamb at 100lb I will yield roughly 50lb worth of meat in the package.

I make my grass-fed lamb available on a local basis before shipping. Subscribe below for a chance to buy my meat once my local demand is satisfied:

A lot of people ask how I cook with lamb, so I created a video with 5 American Style Recipes!
