A small flock outside of Decatur
Bethlehem Farms sits just outside of Decatur, Arkansas, an easy drive from anywhere in Northwest Arkansas. We raise registered Katahdin sheep on grass and sell the lamb straight to the folks who eat it.
Dave Ball, owner & shepherd
[Owner's story goes here: 2–3 short paragraphs in Dave's own words. Why sheep, why Katahdins, how the farm got started, who helps out, what he wants customers to know. Written with Dave during the content interview; not invented for this prototype.]
If you've got a question about the lamb, the flock, or how to cook a shoulder roast, Dave's the one who'll answer the phone. Say hello.
How we raise our lamb
Only verified practices are listed here. Anything else Dave wants to share gets added after the content interview.
Registered Katahdins
Katahdins are an American hair-sheep breed: no shearing, easy keepers, and known for mild, clean-tasting lamb without the strong flavor some people expect. Our flock is registered breeding stock.
100% grass-fed
Our lambs are raised on grass. That's the whole feed program, and it's the reason the lamb tastes the way it does.
USDA-inspected processing
Every lamb we sell is processed at a USDA-inspected facility, cut to order, vacuum-sealed, labeled, and frozen. Small seasonal batches of roughly 11–25 animals keep the quality consistent.
