Ewes & Devons

I got a tour of a local farm today when I went to pick up a side of lamb that I purchased.

This farm family raises Katadin sheep, Devon beef cattle and maple syrup.

Below are their yearling ewes




Their barn is set up for the comfort and safety of their livestock





Really beautiful ewes.






The herd of Devons came into the barn to visit with me.




These Devons do really well on grass.




They have a wonderful temperment and do well in Vermont.






They make fabulous oxen too.




I was hoping one of them would "follow me home."




There is such a wonderful diversity of farms and livestock in this area.

Can't wait to cook up some of the lamb.

Anyone have any good recipes?
