Is my grocery store's Australian-sourced lamb a good source for bone broth and animal fat? - PaleoHacks.com most recent 30 from http://paleohacks.com 2013-05-18T20:46:58Z http://paleohacks.com/feeds/question/51513 http://www.creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/2.5/rdf http://paleohacks.com/questions/51513/is-my-grocery-stores-australian-sourced-lamb-a-good-source-for-bone-broth-and-an Is my grocery store's Australian-sourced lamb a good source for bone broth and animal fat? familygrokumentarian 2011-07-14T02:36:02Z 2011-07-14T04:22:16Z <p>This question is more about playing the odds. My local grocery store sells various cuts of lamb, all marked as being raised in Australia.</p> <p><strong>So, what are the odds that this lamb is pastured? If the odds are good, does that mean that the lamb is my best local-grocery-store source for bone-broths?</strong></p> <p><strong>Could/should I render lamb tallow from this lamb for consumption (of course this hinges on the likelihood that the lamb is largely/fully pastured)?</strong></p> <p>(There are no other pastured animal products at this particular grocery store.)</p> http://paleohacks.com/questions/51513/is-my-grocery-stores-australian-sourced-lamb-a-good-source-for-bone-broth-and-an/51520#51520 Answer by peter for Is my grocery store's Australian-sourced lamb a good source for bone broth and animal fat? peter 2011-07-14T03:17:04Z 2011-07-14T03:17:04Z <p>I believe the odds are extremely high that the lamb is pastured. I am in Aus and I have asked several butchers and they have all said that the lamb is grass fed. I have never heard of CAFO's here. Aus lamb is fantastic.</p> http://paleohacks.com/questions/51513/is-my-grocery-stores-australian-sourced-lamb-a-good-source-for-bone-broth-and-an/51534#51534 Answer by Lauren for Is my grocery store's Australian-sourced lamb a good source for bone broth and animal fat?
