FIVE REASONS WHY YOU SHOULD SELECT AMERICAN LAMB:
- IT’S FRESH. Family farmers and ranchers raise sheep in nearly every state, making fresh, local lamb available wherever you are. Fifty percent of the lamb consumed in the United States is imported from Australia and New Zealand. American Lamb is up to 10,000 miles and 30 days fresher than imported product.
- IT’S AVAILABLE YEAR-ROUND. Because sheep are adapted to a wide range of climates and environments, you can get fresh American Lamb year-round.
- IT’S FLAVORFUL. American Lamb is known for its mild yet distinctive flavor.
- IT’S LARGER. American sheep are bred for meat production. Thus, American Lamb is larger than imported lamb and offers impressive plate presentation.
- IT’S GOOD STEWARDSHIP. Sheep improve pasture and rangeland by cycling vital nutrients back through the soil, minimizing erosion and encouraging native plant growth. Sheep grazed on a variety of nutrient-dense grasses, legumes and forage will produce succulent, tender meat.

HOW LOCAL IS YOUR LAMB?
When you menu local lamb, you’re supporting the nation’s shepherds and their families. The vast majority of the nation’s sheep operations are family owned and operators. And, they’re located in every state – from small flocks grazing on the grasses of the Northeast to larger flocks foraging in high mountain ranges in the West.
Today’s shepherds are family- focused, entrepreneurial and dedicated to the health and welfare of their sheep.
Best of all, they are committed to producing the best quality lamb. That’s because most U.S. sheep producers raise breeds of sheep known as meat breads (rather than wool breeds). These meat breeds are regarded for their larger size and tender meat.
Your members care about where their food comes from, so call out fresh, homegrown local lamb on your menus. American Lamb. From American Land.
