THE HEARTLAND. IOWA. CLOSE TO HOME

Our ranch is conveniently located in central-Iowa, the Heartland of American agriculture.Our ewes and lambs enjoy a peaceful, uninterrupted lifestyle amongst a lush pasture and shady trees. This spring we added layers to help provide additional natural fertilizer for our pastures. We now have all-natural eggs available for purchase as well as our lamb products.

The natural vitamins and nutrients gained through pasture grazing nourish ewes who are exceptional mothers with endless supplies of milk for their lambs. Our lambs wean themselves naturally when the time is right.

We work to eliminate all undue stress placed on our animals. Because hair sheep shed their wool each spring, they aren't subjected to the stress of being confined and shorn. Note the ewe shedding her wool which will soon reveal a smooth, healthy hair coat underneath leaving her cool for the summer months

Meet Capri. Capri is a Bolivian llama...one of our two guard llamas. Capri and Stalin (Argentinian/Chilean) do a wonderful job of protecting the flock from predators as our ewes and lambs peacefully graze in the pasture.

We encourage you to "Buy Fresh, Buy Local!" whenever possible. Eating close to home means fresh food requiring less transportation, less packaging, and fewer/no preservatives! Definitely a win-win for consumers and the environment.

Thank you for your interest in Dalla Terra Ranch!
