Got Sheep!

Got Sheep! 

We have been blessed with a farm life that shows the increase of the blessings of YHWH. Sheep are definitely one of them. We first bought two adult sheep. Then we bought two more and added another pair this year to have different bloodlines.
As they were multiplying we were able to leave 3 males to be butchered the first year. The second year we were blessed double with 3 multiple births, one of them triplets. We also sold 2 and have 3 more ordered. YHWH is good. As we learn that the increase and blessing of YHWH also comes from the flock and herds if we keep His commands much knowledge has been added. Sheep are dependant on a routine. Feeding and pasture time have to be scheduled as we have predators in the area . Our breeds are hair/meat breeds; Barbados Black Belly and Katahdin. These breeds are very low maintenance and cross breed very well. No shearing is needed giving more time to other needs. We supplement them with salt and minerals as they free roam the pastures with cattle and horses. They come in handy since they control a variety of weeds.We also learned a couple of techniques to preserve skin with and without hair.

 

Deuteronomy 30:9-14
9 “And יהוה your Elohim shall make you have excess in all the work of your hand, 
in the fruit of your body, and in the fruit of your livestock, and in the fruit
 of your ground for good. For יהוה turns back to rejoice over
 you for good as He rejoiced over your fathers,
10 if you obey the voice of יהוה your Elohim, to guard His commands 
and His laws which are written in this Book of the Torah, if you turn back 
to יהוה your Elohim with all your heart and with all your being.
11 “For this command which I am commanding you today, 
it is not too hard for you, nor is it far off.
12 “It is not in the heavens, to say, ‘Who shall ascend into the heavens for us, 
and bring it to us, and cause us to hear it, so that we do it?ʼ
13 “Nor is it beyond the sea, to say, ‘Who shall go over the sea for us, 
and bring it to us, and cause us to hear it, so that we do it?ʼ
14 “For the Word is very near you, in your mouth and in your heart – to do it. 

"Items sold today in the markets are full of commercial meat from animals fed a diet of GMO corn and soy products.  They are pumped full of growth hormones and chemical cocktail medicines and de-wormers. We are trying our best to raise healthy happy animals without the crowded and unhealthy conditions of commercial meat farming. From start to finish, the animals raised on our homestead are fed a healthy diet and given lots of room to live and play. We are directly involved in their lives all the way up to and including the processing of that animal. There is no question in our minds that this ensures a healthy product for our families to consume."
Meat Harvesting and Processing


100% Grass Fed and Finished Lamb is....
Higher in protein, than other meats.  Consuming just 4 oz. will get you over 51% of your protein daily value! 
Lower in fat and calories.  It's lean, thanks to a grass diet! 
Higher in Omega 3's(2-4 x's higher than grain fed and finished lamb!)  More Omega's in your diet make you less likely to suffer from heart problems, high blood pressure, Depression, Attention Deficit Disorder, Schizophrenia, or Alzheimer's. 
Higher in CLA, an omega 6 that researchers are finding helps strengthen bone mass, reduce body fat, balance blood sugars and maintain lean body mass.  Not to mention fight cancer and disease!  
Higher in Vitamin E, an immune boosting, age defying anti-oxidant... And More!
 


Until next time...
