Healthy, low fat and cholesterol meat Not only is our award winning
lamb tender and tasty, but the Manx Loaghtan breed has been
found to be 23 per cent lower in fat and almost 10 per cent
lower in cholesterol than commercially reared lamb - making
our lamb a healthy, organic choice.
The table is from a study by the Scottish Agricultural Colleges
comparing Manx Loaghtan and commercially reared lamb:
