Reasons to buy grass fed Shetland lamb meat

Nutritious and Lean Meat

- Shetlands store less fat in their muscle compared to meat breeds.

- Lamb has the healthiest Omega 6:Omega 3 ratio compared to other domesticated meat.

- Rotationally grazed, grass-fed lamb results in even higher Omega-3 fatty acids.

- Curlee Acres lambs are rotationally grazed during summer months, hay fed in winter, occasional grain (black oil sunflower seeds and corn mix.)

- A diet rich in Omega 3 fatty acids can help protect brain health and reduce risk of cardiovascular disease.

- Other nutritional benefits of grass fed lamb meat are higher levels of Vitamin A (essential for good vision) and Vitamin E (important for blood, brain and skin health.)
