Colorado lamb is often thought to be some of the highest quality lamb available. The main factors bringing about this high quality are Colorado’s favorable climate and its high quality lamb genetics. These factors work together to optimize the lambs’ quality. Most lambs are born in the pristine mountain pastures where the air is pure, the vegetation plentiful, and the temperatures comfortable—helping to minimize stress to the animals and allow them to grow at nature’s pace. Lambs grown in Colorado are meatier than lambs grown in many other states due to the optimal growth environment and unique genetics.
The seeds of what is now Summit Creek Natural Lamb today began in Colorado almost 50 years. Many of the company’s lamb ranches are located in Colorado and produce a steady stream of high quality animals. Its feed yards consisting of acres and acres of open space–where around 10,000 to 30,000 lambs receive a grain ration before going to market–are located in Brighton and Brush, Colorado. The grain ration contributes to the animals’ mild flavor and tender texture. Summit Creek Natural Lamb is the choice of many of the finest restaurant chefs in the United States.
