Sheep Carcass

The purpose of the provincial lamb carcass competition is for members to raise a lamb that meets quality standards for restaurant use. For this project the members are diving a little deeper than ‘just a pretty face’ and learning about the ‘meat’ of the matter! This year there are 15 members participating in the program. They will follow their lamb from birth to the harvest cooler where they meet with a meat grader to discuss carcass grading. By participating in this competition, members are able to see how feeding programs and lamb genetics play a crucial role in lamb carcass development.
