The American Lamb
difference - A comparison to imports
Only American Lamb delivers the freshness, flavor and
quality that you expect and deserve. American consumers
choose American Lamb over imported lamb for the
following reasons:
Freshness - No frequent
flyer miles
American Lamb travels up to 10,000 fewer miles and
about 30 days less than imported lamb. That's an
advantage that speaks for itself.
Flavor - Rich, buttery
How does American Lamb get its great flavor? It's how
we raise them. Most American Lamb are fed a combination
of mixed grains and mixed grasses; this contributes to a
milder, less gamey flavor.
Overall Meat Quality - Bred for meat, not Wool
American Lamb are bred primarily for quality meat.
Most imported lamb are bred for quality wool. American
Lamb reflects this difference in its overall quality,
flavor and texture.
Value - Bigger and
meatier
American Lamb yields more meat on the bone than
imported lamb. A 2002 study reported that the eye of an
American Lamb rib chop provides 38% more meat than
Australia and New Zealand rib chops. And, the cost of
American Lamb is comparable to other premium meats.
Ease of Preparation - Easy and delicious
American Lamb, because of its mild flavor, lends
itself to a variety of flavorings and cooking methods.
Complicated recipes are not required in order to prepare
delicious dishes with American Lamb.

year round. These include loin, rack, leg, shoulder,
ground, shanks and ribs.
