Free range means that the animal spent it’s life outdoors, feeding in meadows or pastures, free to choose it’s own food from those meadows whenever it wants. Our Fox Fire Grass-fed Lambs are not raised in confinement such as in a feedlot.

Free range indicates that animals are permitted to roam freely rather than being caged or contained. Ideally, free range animals live naturally, using their instinctual behaviors whether or not they are eventually killed for meat. An example of a symbiotic advantage of free-range animals on a farm is the insect control provided by free range chickens. Because there are few regulations imposed on what can be called free range, the term may not insure that animals are raised humanely. It’s best to know your farmer.
