The mission of Lava Lake Lamb is two-fold: raise the best-tasting lamb on the market and do so in a way that restores and protects the native landscape. That means that Lava Lake Lamb raises grass-fed animals using traditional herding methods.
“The primary motivation behind the ranch is conservation and restoration to improve habitats‚” says Michael Stevens‚ Lava Lamb president. “In order to accomplish this‚ it is important that the ranch maintain grazing permits it has on public lands. As a practical necessity‚ the lambs generate revenue for conservation work.”
The company is careful to graze in a way that supports its goals‚ such as using predator-friendly ranching to restore the natural balance of the area.
Stevens is passionate about the mission of the ranch. “Private lands connect summer and winter ranges for wildlife. How private lands are managed has a big impact on the entire landscape‚” he says. “Owners can play a huge role in how wildlife is preserved.”
