Can lamb be used on the intro diet?

I was looking into this myself. It has a better Omega 3 to Omega 6

ratio, so is considered healthier. But I have also heard it can be very

hard to get a good tasting grassfed meat.

I buy a hind quarter of beef from a local farmer. I asked him about

grass fed and he basically said the same thing regarding taste and

texture. What he does is fully grass feeds the cattle up until the last

2 months before slaughter, that is when you want fast growth for tender

meat. The grains he adds are mostly organic, but not 100%. No hormones,

antiobiotics, etc. They are well cared for animals on a nice clean farm.

I bought a small-med size chest freezer that will hold a hind quarter of

beef plus a side or pork. I also buy a whole lamb. You can't beat the

price, my beef averages $3/lb and lots of nice T-bone, porterhouse and

tenderloin steaks are included in the hind quarter.

If you can hunt around for a relatively local farmer that sells and

raises meat this way, it is well worth it. Check out your local

cooperative extension office, they may be able to point you to a farmer.
