Our animals at Ulkeröds Gård
The foundation of everything we do
At Ulkeröds Gård, the experience begins in the pastures.
Here, the animals grow up in their natural environment – on open pastures, with plenty of space and with great care at every step.
It is the basis of both our philosophy and the taste you encounter in the restaurant and farm shop.
A living farm
Since 2011, our lamb production has grown from 20 ewes to today around 180 ewes and around 250 lambs per year.
The farm also has:
- Highland Cattle
- Fallow deer
- Linder's eye pigs
All with the same focus – animal welfare, sustainability and quality.
In 2026, we will take the next step and start our own egg production, to supply the restaurant and farm shop with eggs from the farm.
Our lambs
Taste that begins in the bait
Our lambs are born in the spring and grow up on their mother's milk and nutritious pastures.
During the summer they graze on herbs and grasses that give the meat its unique character – lamb with a distinct taste of the place.

Texel – quality in every detail
We work primarily with Texel sheep – one of the world's premier meat breeds.
The result is tender, flavorful and well-marbled meat that is served in our restaurant.
Gotland sheep – more than meat
Our Gotland sheep not only contribute to the landscape – but also to products with a long lifespan.
In the farm shop you will find selected skins from the farm.
Fallow deer
Game meat from our own land
In our game enclosure, we raise fallow deer to be able to offer locally produced, high-quality game meat.
A natural, flavorful meat that you can experience both in the restaurant and in the farm shop.
Highland Cattle
Conservation and taste in one
Our Highland Cattle graze the land year-round and help keep the landscape open and vibrant.
They provide meat with a distinct character – which is served seasonally in the restaurant.
Linder's eye pig
Tradition, taste and craftsmanship
The Linderö pig is a Swedish cultural heritage and an important part of our farm.
Here, the pigs are allowed to grow at their own pace, which produces meat with a deep flavor and fine marbling.
- At the Christmas table you will find classic dishes with a clear sense of raw ingredients.
- During the summer, meat takes center stage on the grill in the Pavilion.
From farm to table
With us, the step from animal to plate is short.
It's noticeable in the taste – but also in the feeling of knowing where the food comes from.

Part of the experience
When you visit Ulkeröds Gård, the animals are always present – in the landscape, in the food and in the overall experience.
That's what makes the experience authentic.
A warm welcome to Ulkeröds Gård wishes the Lyrdal family and staff.
