  • Bullhead Ranch -  Other
    3742 West 7550 South, Benjamin, UT 84660. Phone: 801-794-1336. Email us at: sales@bullheadranch.com. We follow organic methods, but are not yet certified. Payment: Cash, only. We raise chicken, lamb and chevon in as natural a setting as we can make. Our animals are all on pasture and are not locked in a feed lot atmosphere. They are rotated through four different pastures to give them access to fresh grass at all times and to interrupt the worm cycle. Our chickens are out to roam the pastures (and in the Fall after harvest, they get our garden as well) where they scratch bugs and eat the fresh grass. You will find our eggs have a beautiful almost orange yolk and great flavor. Our meat chickens are more dense than a store-bought version so it weighs more for its size. Our lamb is from a heritage breed, the Navajo-Churro sheep. These produce a lightly flavored meat that is superior. Our chevon is from several different breeds of goats. While we like a bit of Nubian or Boer in the father to produce a good sized animal, we have found that a milk doe makes a tremendous amount of food for the kids to grow on. All of our animals are pre-sold prior to slaughter dates, so please email or call to be on the list if you are interested in any of our animal sales.
