This is so wrong...it seems...

The ethnic markets have really driven the price up along with more canadians considering it as an alternative meat.

This is a large ethnic market here too but the prices are never that high. maybe they get close in Mid Oct at the high season but it's not common.

In the spring before Easter, lambs went for $3.00 a pound on the hoof at a local auction....the past years also. After that, they drop to $2.50 to $2.75 a pound. Most buyers come from Memphis, TN and Atlanta, Georgia. Large ethnic groups in both cities.

That is why target marketing and research makes such a huge difference between survival and bankruptcy. One thing I always stress with anyone getting into any business, or even wanting to pull extra money as a sideline or hobby.

I googled free bull calf and came up with this. Free calves add is at the bottom below the PETA sounding paragraph.

Depending on the season ans size of the goat, we get $1.50-$2.75 a pound on the hoof. It has gone as high as $3.15 but that is rare. For the best prices, find a graded auction. It is an additional hour drive for us a opposed to the local "sale barn" but we get over twice as much for them.
