Why does Lucie's Lambs uses a pasture based system?
Rearing the flock on the rich permanent pasture leys has many benefits for both the sheep but also for human consumption:
-
Allows the sheep to convert the forage into milk and muscle as nature intended.
-
More sustainable method of rearing sheep- no inputs, not intensive
-
Low carbon footprint than more intensive methods- carbon is able to be stored in the grass rather than being emitted when ploughing occurs.
-
Higher animal welfare, never housed and live as nature intended as well as all five freedoms being met
-
Much healthier for the consumer, lower saturated : unsaturated fats
