Welcome to Hi Ho Sheep.com
We have been in business since 2000 selling whole and half lambs. In 2003 we began offering individual cuts of lamb at local Fort Collins Farmers Markets and direct from our farm. In 2004 we began working with other local producers to supply high quality lamb meat to local restaurants. Today we continue to offer half/whole lamb custom packages and individual cuts of lamb meat direct from our farm and at Fort Collins Farmers Markets.
We are a small family owned and operated farm on 80 acres just east of Fort Collins, CO. Nora is a veterinarian and Craig is an engineer and we work off the farm too. Our three girls help out as well.
Sheep are fed alfalfa hay and a grain mix. Sheep are given free access to pastures as conditions permit. Sheep are fed absolutely no hormones.
Lambs are raised naturally (no hormones or feed antibiotics) and harvested when they are between 5 and 11 months of age. Lambs are given lots of room to romp and are sent out to pasture as conditions permit -- at least weekly. They are fed alfalfa hay and a small amount of grain.
We currently run 40 head of ewes on 80 acres of dryland pasture and raise 50 to 60 lambs per year.
We are often asked why our lamb is so good. Our animals and those raised for us are harvested at an earlier age than what you might find in the supermarket. They are well fed, but not over-fed and they have plenty of room to grow and play.
