Herdwick meat is the original "slow food". Herdwyck Lamb is exceptionally tender and mild with a flavor unique to the breed and its forage. Slow to mature, older lambs, in the U.K., up to as much as 4 years of age, are sold as "Late Lamb" due to the mild and tender nature of this breed. Beyond age four, for the most part meat from older ewes, is sold as Mutton. We harvest as much of the animal as legally possible by USDA inspection, including tongue, liver, kidney, all bones, hide and horns. An excellent yield of meat to the bone, these animals are ideal converters of forage to food and are a very sustainable breed. Our Abbatoire, Double L Ranch, is a Certified Humane and Animal Welfare Approved facility.
