You are welcome Mawalla! Here was our experience:
We found out about this market because these men were driving around the countryside and saw my good friend out in her pasture with her sheep. They stopped and asked if she had any to sell. She only had 2 ram lambs, they were happy to buy those. She told them she had friends who might have some available (me and DH!) and we would call them. They called her every day until DH was home from hunting long enough to meet with them. You are right, Ross, they spoke with DH much easier than me.
They came out to butcher yesterday, the grandfather and father, and 2 young sons. The kids did not help much and were allowed to do as much as they could handle. 1 child was disrespectful with one of the dead lambs and both men repremanded him. I kept them busy with me, playing with the dogs and our pet turkeys. The lambs went very peacefully. The buyers asked me again if they could buy any more, but we've promised lamb to others and always keep at least one for us. The kids spoke "american" English and I enjoyed explaining about raising animals to them.
A note to hair sheep owners. Our Halal buyers are from Iraq. They purchased 2 barbados ram lambs from my friend. While they did buy them, they insisted that the lambs were 1/2 goat because of the hair and horns, and I could not convince them otherwise. They prefer wool sheep because that is what they had back in their country.
They were also very interested in our chickens, turkeys and pheasants. Since DH does all the bargining, I will suggest to him that he uses a roo or 2.
All in all, we were very happy with how slaughter day went and wish we had more lamb this year to sell!
