American Lamb: The Sustainable Protein SourceAmerican lamb is a family endeavor. More than 80,000 family farmers and ranchers responsibly and sustainably raise lamb in every state of the country. That alone makes American lamb a sustainable option for American consumers. But farmers, ranchers and sheep do much more to ensure the American Lamb industry positively contributes to the health of our ecosystem. Soil Health: Sheep improve the quality of the land they graze by cycling nutrients back into the soil, minimizing erosion and encouraging native plant growth. Grazing: Sheep are suited to graze almost any environment, including beneath solar panels and in vineyards. By simply grazing, they sustainably improve the condition of the land. Diet: Although growth hormones are legal to use, American Lamb farmers and ranchers choose not to. It’s a sustainable decision and a source of pride for the entire American Lamb industry.
Choose American lamb for its flavor and nutritional value, and also because it’s a sustainable protein source.
