The lamb breeds that I know of around here are Hampshire and Suffolk. I don't know what they are good for. If they won't work, I'll just have to look further.
There are other producers around here...
Someone else told me that muslims don't like to pay alot. If they want to buy the whole animal, then all I have to do is buy them, haul them, tell their muslim blessing guy when to be there and then pick up the meat and deliver. I can just mark them up a bit and make a little money. Right now they are driving 3 hours to get the meat, so I think there's room for some profit.
I have had other customers asking for lamb. I'll just get them all blessed so I don't have to worry about selling a non-blessed lamb to a muslim. I suppose the non-muslims won't be the wiser and wouldn't care less if their lamb was blessed or not.
I hope Hampshires are a good breed. I like the guy who raises them, he does raise them all-natural and I know I could work a deal to buy all his lambs. He sells a few as breeding stock and the rest just go to the sale barn. There's someone else who raises Cheviot (sp?) but his are all on contract.
