About Bio-Dynamics

Sheep and lamb have been the family business for over 160 years. Our combined organic/Bio-Dynamic approach coupled with rotational grazing produces succulent lamb which is healthier for both your family and the environment. It tastes better!

Bio-Dynamics is an enhanced organic approach. Bio-Dynamic practices are focused on producing healthy, living, well-structured soil. Healthy plants and animals are a result. Don’t you deserve to enjoy the best quality food you can source?

All lambs are born and spend their entire lives on Moorlands, a fully Demeter certified farm. None of our lambs are fed hay made from GM Canola, or exposed to fungicides [sadly used widely on many wheat crops]. No insecticide, artificial fertiliser [fabricated salts], weedicide, chemical drench, chemical dips or pesticides are applied to the soil, plants or animals on Moorlands. The lambs have a smorgasbord of grass varieties on which to graze – pasture fed – nothing artificial or forced.

We are fully trained in stress-free stock handling techniques. Ethical considerations are foremost in our minds – not only is this kind to our beautiful sheep but it results in tender meat.

Generations of experience raising sheep and breeding excellent lamb has honed our systems and selection processes. Our genetic base is centred around one principal breed – the fabulous Texels. A breed originating in the Netherlands producing flavorsome meat, with sweet, ‘nutty’ fat (but not too much!) and affording wonderful silky texture.

In addition to grazing grass, lambs on Moorlands have access to over 40,000 native shrubs – mainly wattle. They love to browse the leaves on these as well as eat the seeds.  The seeds are very high in protein.  The leaves have been shown to be beneficial to their health.  Many top chefs think this unique diet is part of the reason that Moorlands lamb is so special.
