Lamb raised on American ranches is not only less expensive but, shipped fresh not frozen, tastier, and because the animals are slaughtered a bit older, larger. Whole Foods used to sell American lamb but they no longer do. Anyone know where American lamb can be purchased in Dallas?

Thu Nov 05 20:52:32 -0800 2009 5159928 260733 slewfoot 1 5160649 I called Kuby's and Rudolph's and they both sell (fresh) American raised lamb ($19.99 LB) from Colorado. I should have known.

Fri Nov 06 08:23:46 -0800 2009 5160649 170567 LewisvilleHounder 2 5160827 You can also purchase pastured lamb from local area ranches (Rehoboth, Windy Meadows, Truth Hill Farm) through Texas Supernatural Meats at the Dallas Farmers Market. For some reason, I haven't tried any of the lamb but have had some really good grass fed beef from both Rehoboth and Truth Hill.

I believe they are at the Dallas Farmer's Market every other weekend as well. Fri Nov 06 10:18:21 -0800 2009 5159928 1099082 vstock 1 5161942 Thanks, all. I'll be buying fresh (Colorado) lamb at Rudolphs or Kuby's. Both stores are very conveniently located near me. Although the thought of buying "natural" locally raised grass fed lamb is enticing, I'm not interested in driving too far or, buying large sides of (frozen) lamb. The occasional rack or individual rib chops are all I need. Again, thank you all for your suggestions. I will consider this topic, closed. Fri Nov 06 14:17:00 -0800 2009 5159928 138174 twinwillow 1 5164304 Central Market. They sell lamb from Rancher's Lamb in San Angelo, TX. The company is owned by a group of local West Texas ranchers, so you're not buying some factory farm's product. Sat Nov 07 19:36:35 -0800 2009 5159928 45514 ChristieP 2 5164652 Thanks, "ChristieP". I'll try it. Sun Nov 08 04:53:48 -0800 2009 5164304 138174 twinwillow
