1 x carton: Half Moorlands Mutton (4 Tooth or More) – Custom-Cut and Vacuum Packed.
Moorlands Lamb has been officially recognised as the finest lamb produced in Australia. Unlike lamb, mutton is harvested from sheep with four or more teeth, denoting maturity and providing a deeper, more robust taste. Farmers refer to these classifications as ‘4 tooth’, ‘6 tooth’, or ‘8 tooth’ as the animal ages, with ‘full mouth’ indicating sheep aged 48 months or more. **This product will be available in November 2024.

ORIGIN STORY
Moorlands Bio-Dynamic Lamb is owned and managed by Vincent (Vince) Heffernan who is not only a 6th generation sheep grazier but also a noted expert on new forms of regenerative land management. The farm, Moorlands, has been in the family for over 180 years. Moorlands is a 3,000 acre property in the southern tablelands fronting the Lachlan River. Its contrasting terrain includes lush green pastures, rolling hills and rocky hills where the only access is on foot.
All sheep are born and spend their entire lives on Moorlands, a fully Demeter certified farm. None of the lambs are fed hay or any grain made from GM Canola, or exposed to fungicides [sadly used widely on many wheat crops]. No insecticide, artificial fertiliser [fabricated salts], weedicide, chemical drench, chemical dips or pesticides are applied to the soil, plants or animals on Moorlands. The lambs have a smorgasbord of grass varieties on which to graze – pasture fed – nothing artificial or forced.
The genetic base is centred around one principal breed – the fabulous Texels. A breed originating in the Netherlands producing flavorsome meat, with sweet, ‘nutty’ fat (but not too much!) and affording wonderful silky texture. In addition to grazing grass, lambs on Moorlands have access to over 40,000 native shrubs – mainly wattle. They love to browse the leaves on these as well as eat the seeds. The seeds are very high in protein. The leaves have been shown to be beneficial to their health. Many top chefs think this unique diet is part of the reason that Moorlands Texel sheep meat is so special.
