Does Great American Lamb Company ban the use of growth hormones from its lamb?
YES. Great American Lamb Company opposes the use of growth hormones: therefore they are banned in all of our livestock. Lamb industry reports estimate that over 80% of conventional cattle operations now use growth hormones or other performance enhancing drugs in raising animals. Growth hormones raise a wide array of environmental and human health concerns, as well as animal health concerns. We, along with our farmer partners, believe that lambs should be allowed to mature naturally. By raising lamb slowly and naturally with our selected family farms, our natural lambs are flavorful and tender.
