Do You Sell Lamb Directly To Consumers or Are You Looking For Fresh, Local Lamb?
In cooperation with SDSU Extension, we’ve created a directory on where to buy lamb. We want to be able to provide consumers with a buying guide for South Dakota lamb marketers. This guide, updated twice a year, is designed to help more consumers connect with high-quality, local lamb. Please submit your request to be included in the next printing of the guide using the form below.
