This is a repost from last year but I wanted to reshare it for those folks who keep wondering how I can eat one animal but keep another.
A tale of two ram lambs 🐑.
One of these rams was born here on the farm and tomorrow he will fulfill his ultimate purpose of providing families with an amazing source of protein. Most of our followers have seen him posted from birth, various stages of growth, going to the fair, and now this. In the coming days and months you will continue to see pictures of him both hanging on the rail and pictures as we enjoy the myriad of meat cuts a lamb will provide.
The other was born of an embryo that was collected and frozen 5+ years ago. He will be here on the farm hopefully for many years to come producing more lambs both as breeding stock prospects and for the freezer. There are many future goals for this buck lamb and we can't wait to see his first crop of lambs next spring.
Neither one of these rams' lives has less meaning. They both have noble purposes, one is just to feed us now and the other is to produce future generations, both are very important tasks and we appreciate them both.
