• No antibiotics

• No

• Gluten-free

• High in Omega-3s

• Free-range and humanely raised

What truly makes our meats some of the healthiest in the world is not just the label, but the chemistry. They are zero glycemic,nutrient dense, andOmega-6 to Omega-3 ratios under 2:1. These three qualities have a greater effect on long-term health than all other marketing claims combined. That’s why we say our meats are Beyond because it’s the nutritional science that matters most.

Grass-Fed vs. Grain-Fed Lamb

All meats, whether grain-fed or grass-fed, are zero glycemic, thingnutrient density and fatty acid balance.

Grain-fed lamb, like grain-fed humans, tends to be low in essential nutrients. Grains simply cannot provide the same spectrum of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants that come from green plants. In contrast, grass-fed lambs enjoy a natural diet of diverse forages, resulting in meat that is richer in vitamins and beneficial fats.

The key advantage of grass-fed meat is not just in nutrient quantity but in balance. Grass-fed lamb naturally maintains a healthy ratio of Omega-6 to Omega-3 fatty acids, while grain-fed lamb does not. This difference has a significant impact on inflammation and long-term wellness.

Grass-fed lamb also tends to have more exterior fat on certain cuts and carries a bolder, more distinctive flavor than grain-fed lamb. The cuts are usually a bit smaller, but they deliver exceptional quality and depth of taste.

Humanely Raised, Naturally Healthy

Our lambs are raised with care and respect. Ranchers and shepherds who raise lambs genuinely care for their animals, often more deeply than the organizations that claim to speak for them. Hormone implants and subtherapeutic antibiotics are strictly prohibited, and no grain or unnatural feed is ever used.

New Zealand’s animal welfare standards are among the highest in the world, and the producers we work with follow strict health and nutrition programs. Every aspect of the process, from pasture management to animal health, is designed to ensure the lambs thrive naturally and humanely.

Why We Source from New Zealand

For years, sourcing grass-fed lamb within the United States has been a challenge. To meet customer demand and maintain quality, we now proudly offer 100% grass-fed lamb from New Zealand. Ranchers in the southern hemisphere have perfected the art of raising livestock on open pastures, and their expertise ensures a consistent, high-quality supply year-round.

Cooking Grass-Fed Lamb

Cooking grass-fed lamb is a bit different from cooking grain-fed meat. Because grass-fed lamb has less intramuscular fat and more active muscle tissue, it cooks faster and can dry out if overdone. The key is low and slow or quick and precise, depending on the cut.

For tender steaks and chops, aim for rare to medium-rare, with an internal temperature of around 120°F. Don’t rely on color to judge doneness, as grass-fed meat is naturally darker. Instead, use a meat thermometer for accuracy.

To enhance tenderness and flavor, allow the lamb to reach room temperature before cooking, and let it rest for several minutes after cooking. This helps retain natural juices and improves texture. Slow-cooked dishes, such as shanks or roasts, turn out beautifully when braised or simmered gently. Because the meat is lean, a small amount of olive oil, butter, or tallow can help add moisture and richness.

If you’re new to grass-fed lamb, start with ground lamb or slow-cooked roasts, which are easier to prepare and always flavorful.
