A Fresh Whole Lamb for Your Celebration

Select your own grass-fed Dorper sheep and honor your tradition — on a real family farm, 41 minutes from Austin.

For families across many faiths and traditions, a freshly prepared lamb is at the heart of a celebration. Families come from across Central Texas to select a healthy, grass-fed Dorper sheep — raised free-range, not neutered, tails not docked — and mark their traditions the way they were meant to be: fresh, personal, and done with care.

How It Works

  1. Reach out to reserve.

    For Eid al-Adha we set aside a dedicated Saturday about a week before the holiday — reserve early, as it fills up.

  2. Choose and pay for your animal.

    A $350 flat fee per animal (ram or ewe lamb) includes the on-site slaughter area. Full payment upfront.

  3. Honor your tradition.

    Once the animal is yours, you're welcome to perform the slaughter yourself in our prepared area, or our team can assist.

  4. Take it home fresh.

    Yours to enjoy, the very same day.

What We Provide On-Site

  • A shaded area with a hanger
  • A wide bucket and running water to clean up
  • A restroom for your family's comfort

Please bring your own knives, utensils, cooler, and ice.

Communities & Traditions We Welcome

Over the years we've been honored to host families from many backgrounds and faiths. Eid al-Adha (Qurbani / Udhiyah), the Feast of Sacrifice, is our most-requested occasion. Families also come for an Aqiqah to celebrate the birth of a first-born son, and for Easter (Pascha) among Orthodox, Coptic, Ethiopian, and Eritrean Christian families.

We're glad to welcome families of Moroccan, Ethiopian, Eritrean, Somali, Algerian, Iraqi, Iranian, and many other heritages — and anyone who simply wants a fresh, whole, grass-fed lamb and to know exactly how it was raised. Whatever your tradition, you're welcome here.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does it cost?

A $350 flat fee per animal (ram or ewe lamb), which includes the on-site slaughter area. Full payment is due upfront to reserve.

Is the meat certified halal?

We're a family farm, not a certified halal facility, and we don't employ an imam. Many families who observe halal or zabihah traditions choose to perform the slaughter themselves in the space we provide — which we're glad to accommodate. You purchase and take home your own animal.

Can I perform the slaughter myself, or can the farm do it?

Either. Once you've purchased your animal, you're welcome to carry it out yourself in our prepared, shaded area (please bring your own knives and utensils) — or, because the animal is yours and for your own use, our team can do it for you. We also dispose of any remains you don't wish to take with you.

What should we bring on the day?

Plan for a picnic: a table, chairs, cooler and ice, knives and utensils, plates, beverages, and a grill if you'd like to cook there.

Do you offer goats?

No — we raise Dorper sheep only.
