Grass-Fed Lamb, Mutton and Goat
Grass-fed lamb, mutton and goat are produced for food on the Big Island. The
meat is sold to restaurants and consumers through each producer.
Each Big Island producer chooses their own venue for processing: some provide USDA inspected cuts, others do their own slaughter and some provide livestock to those who prefer to do their own slaughter. Consumers can find out how meat is processed by inquiring.
The Hawaii Sheep and Goat Association is researching aspects of collectively
marketing their meat products. The association offers ranchers workshops and
resources on livestock management. For info, visit www.hawaiisheepandgoat.com.
