Normanton Lamb

Have you ever been disappointed with the lamb you have brought.  Well you won't ever need to worry about this again if you buy our lamb.  See below to learn about the lengths we go to ensure that our lamb is the very best you can eat every time.

 Our flock of North Country Mule sheep are crossed with a breed called Beltex.  The lambs produced from this cross produce a very tender, lean, succlulent and tasty carcass. 

Like the Beef cattle we do not feed any supplementary food to our lambs to fatten them.  We manage to achieve this through breed selection, close attention to grassland management and lambing at the correct time of year when there is a plentiful supply of grass to feed the lambs mothers who, in turn,  produce bountiful supplies of milk to feed the hungry lambs.

When the lambs are ready we send them just 7 miles to our local abbatoir for slaughter.  The carcasses return to our on farm butchery the following day where they are hung for 10-14 days prior to cutting into joints.

Our lamb is vacuum packed prior to blast freezing.  We vacuum pack to prevent freezer burn during storage and we blast freeze it to ensure the ice crystals formed in the meat during freezing are kept to a minimal size.  This ensures that you can enjoy the fantastic flavour of real New Season Lamb all year round without the need for any artificial feedstuffs.

Our lamb is available by mail order either as individual joints, steaks etc or you can buy a box containing a 1/2 or whole lamb.  For your guidance a 1/2 lamb would take about 1 freezer drawer of space in your home freezer.
