As mentioned, the 4-Hers raising market lambs, must produce a quality product. This includes no use of growth hormones or unnatural feeds. These lambs are sold where they are raised — Somerset County. Once purchased, the lamb can be packaged for your freezer, donated to a local hospital, or community shelter, or even donated to an organization to be resold with the proceeds being donated to your favorite charity.
