Mirror Lake Farm raises purebred Scottish Blackface sheep. SBF are known for their fine meat and durable wool.

Our lambs are raised on pastures of alfalfa, fescue, bluegrass and clover that are naturally fertilized and pesticide free. They don’t need chemicals or hormones to grow big and healthy, just good management and good pasture. Grass-fed lamb is lower in saturated fat and calories but higher in omega-3 fatty acids, CLA and vitamin E. We believe healthy, happy sheep make healthy great tasting lamb.

Fall is the time for freezer lamb. Our lambs are born early spring and are a good market weight by November. They are professionally processed at McNees Meats in North Branch, MI. We accept orders of whole lambs, cut any way you like or try our basic cut which is rib chops (from the rack),loin chops, sirloin steaks and burger. A whole lamb averages about 25 lbs of wrapped meat. Whole lambs take a week for processing.

We occasionally sell individual cuts from our freezer like leg of lamb for a special occasion, just give us a call. Our Italian sausage comes in links or ground sausage and makes awesome low fat/ low sodium meat balls or a healthier breakfast sausage. It is special order available year-round; call first so we can plan ahead.

Whole lambs average about $200. We are a family of 4 and go through about 4-5 lambs a year. Once you’re hooked it will become part of your weekly menu. We have some great grilling tips and recipes, too. If you only want a half, please find a friend to split it with, that way we aren’t left with a half in the freezer and the lamb will be fresher for everyone.

We also sell raw fleece, hides and horns. Fleeces range from 4-7 lbs each and are a very healthy and strong fiber. Call or e-mail us for more information. We charge $5.50 a pound plus shipping. We can ship anywhere and bill you through PayPal. All our fleeces are white. Our hides are professionally tanned and finish a beautiful white with a staple length of 6 to 10 inches; they make a striking and durable rug. We also sell ewe and ram horns. Send us an email for pictures.

We raise guard llamas and sell their fiber, too. All of our llamas are experienced sheep guards. We have a nice female for sale now.

Call us if you have any questions, just not during dinner.
