Lamb. Only a few steps before it reaches your plate.

Hello! My name is Dale Palsson.  I'm a member of 4-H and live on a small farm inhabited by four legged wooly creatures.  Me and my family have been shepherds for over 10 years and continue to breed and sell sheep.  We have been involved with sheep on a daily basis; feeding, watering and caring for.  Each year our family supplies the lamb market with an average of 1225lbs not including the 385lbs of meat from 4-H lambs.  On average the market pays $4 for 1 pound of actual meat.  When you buy it in the store it is greatly inflated.  This inflation is not only for the company to make money but also because you are probably getting New Zealand or Australian lamb.  The amount of Canadian lamb could only support 40% of the demand for it in Canada.  If more people buy local or Canadian lamb the producers will gain more wealth to grow their business and sell more and more lambs to support the demand.  Not only are you supporting local farmers and ranchers but also being more environmentally friendly since you aren't having to get your lamb shipped overseas.  Save the Earth buy Canadian Lamb!
