Yes it is. Scientists who compared grass fed lamb meat with grain fed lamb meat in a feedlot found that “lambs grazing in pasture had 14% less fat and about 8 % more protein compared to grain-fed lamb.”
Grass fed lamb meat is also an excellent source of vitamin B-12, niacin, zinc, and a good source of iron. While other red meats, such as goat meat, offer those nutrients as well, grass fed lamb meat stands out with a comparatively high nutritional benefit. Grass fed lamb meat has one of the highest levels of conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) and omega-3 fatty acids, both heart-healthy fatty acids with anti-cancer, anti-diabetes, anti-fat properties.
The research suggests that the health problems associated with eating meat are real problems with the meat from ruminants (e.g., cattle, sheep, goats) fed grain concentrates. Even a small amount of grain in the diet destroys the benefits of grass according to a USDA and Clemson University 2009 study.
Our pasture-raised lamb feeds on a diverse diet of grasses, herbs, and wild plants, which imparts a complex and rich flavor to the meat. These natural flavors from their environment create a more nuanced taste compared to grain-fed lamb, which tends to have a milder and less distinctive flavor.
REGENERATIVE PASTURE-RAISED: Our lambs live in open, natural environments where they can graze freely. This low-stress lifestyle minimizes the production of stress hormones like cortisol, which can negatively impact meat flavor.
As a family farm, we believe in the regenerative benefits of pasture-raised livestock for the health of our land, animals, and community. The result is lamb with superb flavor, packed with nutrients and produced in an environmentally conscious way.
CONVENTIONAL-RAISED: Conventional lambs raised in feedlots or confined conditions may experience more stress, potentially leading to a slightly gamey or metallic taste in the meat.
All of our animals are born & raised in the USA on local regenerative farms & ranches. They are also processed at local family or tribal owned processors. We are proud to be America's Regenerative Rancher.

The lamb loin chops were beautiful.
★★★★★
I broiled the lamb loin chops and I brushed each chop both sides with a mixture of olive oil, garlic onion powder, thyme, parsley , pepper, salt, a dash cayenne. Cook to medium. They were delish. The lamb loin chops were beautiful meat to work with.
