Grass Fed Lamb vs. Commercial Lamb

Grass fed lamb is simply a better product than commercial lamb meat. While it is true that grass fed lambs do not fatten up as fast as grain-fed animals, their meat is healthier, leaner and more tender. The obvious reasons that grass fed lambs are more healthy is because they are not contained in cramped feed lots being forced fed grains and hormones. Lambs raised on grain generally have too much fat which changes the flavor of the meat. These lambs will suffer fewer digestive problems and will have better overall health because they are allowed to wean at leisure, instead of being separated from their mother at a young age.
