To become a member of
the Natural Lamb Co-op you must voluntarily agree to
adhere to the NLC Lamb Protocol and Husbandry Standards.
This
requires that you are a ranch or farm on which an individual
or family member owns the lambs and where you or your
family member provide a major part of the daily labor
to manage the lambs and the farm or ranch operation.
It also requires that livestock must be humanely treated,
fed an all vegetarian feed, never given growth hormones
or antibiotics, and raised on land that is cared for
as a sustainable resource. Please refer back to our
Mission Statement and our
information regarding the importance
of all natural lamb products. We operate
on an honor system. You must also understand that it
is your responsibility to make your own contractual
arrangements with your purchasers and with your local
area locker plants. If what you have read describes
the type of operation you run
and
you
would
like to
become a member of the NLC, please contact Nancy
Penley, Loveland, Colorado. E-mail: NANCY8113@msn.com.
