Grass-Fed and Finished * No Antibiotics * No Hormone Implants
We are planning to attend the Downtown SLC Farmers Market held in Pioneer Park on June 13th and 20th. We’ll be back on July 11th and 18th , after being at other markets on June 27th (we are taking July 4th off). We will be at the SLC market from 8 am to 1 pm.
On June 20th, we will stopping in Ogden from 4:30 to 5 pm to deliver pre-ordered items. This stop will be in the parking lot behind Grounds for Coffee (Corner of 30th and Harrison) and Pizza Runner. Our next stop in Ogden will be in approx 4 weeks (most likely July 18.)
· We have several quarters of beef in the freezer that are ready for delivery. These will be the last one’s available at our current price of $4 per carcass lb. They are from a 619 lb carcass, so each quarter will be $619 plus tax, and be approx 90 lbs of mixed beef cuts.
· We also have 3 whole lambs in our freezer. These are animals that were exposed to antibiotics in their first month or so of life and thus we are not selling them under our no antibiotic label. They are similar to all our other lambs, they are grass-fed and grass finished, not given hormones, with the exception that they did get some antibiotics approx 10 months before they were harvested. We are discounting these carcasses $50 from their normal price of $5 per carcass lb. (two of the carcasses are nearly 80 lbs, and so they will be approx $350 each).
§ We have gift certificates available, for an amount of your choosing!
§ We have 4 beef bundles and 3 lamb bundles available currently. The beef bundles have recently been revised (see below).
§ We have a few of types of lamb sausages available- garlic and rosemary, lamb and apple, Italian lamb with sun-dried tomatoes and merguez, as well as lamb salami. We have uncased packages of many of the lamb sausage varieties for those who are trying to avoid pork.

Our busy spring has continued. The frequent storms we’ve had have stretched spring planting out far more than usual. John and Tom are hoping to get another section of Mrs. P’s farm planted to hay today, in the ongoing process of converting her property from small grain to hay production. John estimates we had 6 inches of rain in May. Several of the storms since then have each resulted in .6 of an inch in the rain gauge. We are now getting pretty warm, and the grasses are growing wonderfully. Our field of beardless barley, wheat and oats is looking really good. It looks like it will provide either quite a few days of grazing, or several bales of hay, when we use it before the seed develops.
We were greatly saddened by the need to put our oldest horse, Palo, down. He was 28 years old, and really showing his age. He managed to severely injure himself in a freak accident and the vet judged that he was unlikely to recover and to reclaim any quality of life. John had gotten Palo when he was quite young and had trained him. He was one of the last vestiges of John’s bachelor days when he had time to hunt and ride, and it was hard to let that go in addition to a trusted friend. We trust Palo is now in a better place, and hope he is up to his belly in tasty grass. He will be missed.
Nancy, the gal who leases pasture from us, has now brought all of her animals to us. She was desperate to get them here, as her pastures in Bear Lake county were flooded from the rain. John and Tom were/are working feverishly to make sure all the fences are ready, and the solar stock water system is working at the meadow. Keeping all the neighbors, and Nancy’s, bulls out of our cows has turned into a full time job, as well. I continue to be in charge of keeping the ewes and lambs, and 10 heifers, in feed and water, here at the house farm. Between making milk, and delivering it to my charges, trying to control weeds, building and maintaining temporary fences etc I’m not making very much headway on my box of receipts to file, nor keeping up with my emails and customer contacting. The family has also noticed a shortage of prepared meals, as we discover that I don’t yet have a clone.
