Welcome to the Co-op, Ale Sheep Company!
The address on the packing house labels show Gerlach, NV, while their Great Basin ranch and grazing area spans from Northeast California to Northwest Nevada 😍
Anna and Riaan Odendaal own and raise a small(ish) flock of Suffolk sheep in Northern CA and Nevada. Their flock is a small part of Anna's family's much larger sheep and cattle ranch. They take pride in their product and only sell the very best lamb. ALE Sheep Company sheep are pastured all year long. The Odenaals strongly believe in zero to low waste, which is why they do their best to use every part of the lamb. They get the hides organically tanned after harvest, and save and sell all extra bones for broth or pets, along with the offal cuts for a nutrient-dense offering. If all that isn't enough, the family also creates & sells felted wool items handmade using the wool from their flock. IMPRESSIVE!
