It took us a long time to get grass-fed lamb right. When lambs grow too slow, they start to taste too strong, like mutton. Moreover, there is a big difference between male and female lambs. To get the right fat percentage at the right weight, we only sell males for meat. We sell all our females as breeding stock.
