Karen, Is the meat processor only licensed for deer? Here in MO, a regular meat processor cannot process meat (beef, lamb, pork) while they offer deer processing during the deer season. If they don't do deer meat, then it's business as usual. We used to have a local processor who was great! Since he moved on, the only one I trust is some 65 miles south of me. Well worth it though, as they do an excellent job! Yes, you can find lambs at the sale barns, you may have to feed them up back to health sometimes, but it can be done easily. While goats got very popular here for awhile, I can't say as sheep ever have. Their loss, my gain! Best to cruise through a local Craig's list or other forum for better cared for stock. Some of the stuff I've seen around here at the sale barns are on their deathbeds! Check into 4-Hers and FFA members in your area too!
