"I would love to be a sheep on our farm, because life for them is great. They have great lush pastures. We are personally engaged with each animal. We have bonded with them. We like caring for them. We like raising them. We love the food that comes from them.
American Lamb is good for Americans for many, many reasons. Not only is it generally leaner, but it also has better mineral content. Lamb is better. And when you account for taste, you've gone from better to wonderful. Lamb is something that Americans don't realize they can eat every day."
