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.com2013-05-18T20:46:58Zhttp://paleohacks.com/feeds/question/51513http://www.creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/2.5/rdfhttp://paleohacks.com/questions/51513/is-my-grocery-stores-australian-sourced-lamb-a-good-source-for-bone-broth-and-anIs my grocery store's Australian-sourced lamb a good source for bone broth and animal fat?familygrokumentarian2011-07-14T02:36:02Z2011-07-14T04:22:16Z
<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>

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>
