Western Easter
April 8, 2007, April 16, 2006
Type of lamb wanted - 30-45 lbs, milk fed and fat.
Type of goat wanted - Fleshy, milk fed kids, 3 months old or younger. Kids weighing less
than 20 lbs are generally disappointing to buyers due to low meat to bone ratios and high
carcass drying losses. Acceptable weights generally range from 20 to 50 lbs with 30 lbs
considered optimum by most buyers.
Eastern or Greek Easter
April 8, 2007, April 23, 2006
A Christian feast commemorating the Resurrection of Jesus after his crucifixion. The
Orthodox Eastern Church calculates Easter somewhat differently, so that the Orthodox
Easter usually comes several weeks after that of the West. Eastern Orthodox Christians
come from a variety of ethnic backgrounds: Greek, Russian, Egyptian, Romanian, Serbian,
Ukrainian, Armenian, Bulgarian, Georgian, Albanian, Ethiopian, Syrian, and American.
Type of lamb wanted - 40-55 lbs, milk fed and fat.
Type of goat wanted - Similar to Western Easter kids. A slightly larger milk fed kid (i.e.
around 35 lbs) is considered optimum.
Christmas
December 25, every year
Type of lamb & goat wanted - market is for milk fed kids and lambs. These young animals
are rare, because they must be produced by out-of-season breeding in May for October
births. Kids and lambs as light as 18 lbs may be readily accepted.
