Wholesale Meat Of April: Lamb

In the UK, it is not uncommon for supermarket and butcher shelves to be filled with delicious and dynamic cuts of lamb during the month of April. When it comes to wholesale meat in the springtime, you will find it hard to identify a more popular choice than lamb. Lamb is synonymous with spring, and April more specifically, because lambs are honed to give birth during the early spring once the frost has cleared and the fresh grass has started to grow. 

During this period, lambs are able to consume nutritional grass which gives them healthy doses of Omega 3 and 6. The much healthier and generally desirable living environment makes lamb in the spring a much healthier and tasty choice especially compared to other sorts of meats. 

With lamb being so widely purchased and consumed in the month of April; we thought now is the opportune time to highlight the benefits of eating lamb, whether it be from a Staffordshire slaughterhouse such as ourselves or elsewhere. 

Lamb In The Spring Is Better

As previously alluded to, lamb is arguably at its finest during the early weeks of spring. In addition to the previously mentioned health benefits, the fact that lambs consume more Omega 3 and 6 during this period, lamb arguably tastes better during this period too. 

However, when making your lamb purchase in the springtime there might be an element of confusion. If you are purchasing a piece of meat labelled as spring lamb; this does not necessarily mean that the lamb is grown or born in the spring. Spring lamb simply refers to a lamb which is between 3 to 5 months old.

A Diverse Range of Meat

In our most recent blog, we have detailed the fantastic range of lamb available in the UK. Lamb offers a great variety of tastes and textures not always found in other forms of wholesale meat. Lamb shank, neck and sirloin are just some of the finest you will find at any supermarket. 

Health Benefits

Eating lamb can actually have many health benefits. On top of the fact that lamb is a great source of protein; lamb exhibits various types of vitamins and minerals. The vitamins and minerals include iron, zinc and vitamin B12 Additionally, lamb can help prevent anemia. As you might have guessed, lamb has many surprising health benefits.
