Lambition™
Premium-Regenerative-American
Headquartered in the Ozarks, our family raises flocks of Merino cross fine wool ewes and finished market lambs, across the midwest and distributs nationally.
Our lambs are certified GrassFed through the American Grassfed Association (AGA) and Regenerative through the Savory Institute‘s Land 2 Market Program (L2M). Our team is trained and highly experienced in natural, humane, and safe livestock handling through: lambing, grazing, shearing, and transportation.
Our ranch and transporters are Beef Quality Assurance certified.
We have replacement ewe lambs, bred ewes, purebred/ registered (Merino and SAMM) rams, and finished market lambs available year round in semi loads; with various weight, certification, delivery, processing, and contract options available.
All our animals are proudly born, raised, and processed in the USA.

Management
In addition to managed grazing and humane practices, we are super passionate about learning both modern and traditional methods of raising and preparing lambs for shearing and ensuring their environment promotes the best possible outcomes.
As our experience grows, we are training our team, arranging equipment and facilities to provide the best possible quality and consistency for our programs.
Clean pastures, dry bedded holding pens, pre-shear fasting, blade shearing, professional facilities, thorough fleece skirting, wool sorting and grading.
Our team is Level 1 certified for both: Sheep Safety & Quality Assurance (SSQA), and American Wool Assurance (AWA)
Shearing
Between trained family members and professional crews, we strive for excellence in gleaning a premium wool crop in a low stress environment.
And while commercial efficiency is a must in our day and age, we pursue traditional craftsmanship and part of that has included learning “Blade“ shearing, which we have found is less stressful for both shearer and lamb. It can be done nearly as fast, and leaves both a well cut fleece and enough cover on the lamb for it to be comfortable.
