Lamb foreshanks, a bone-in cut from the front leg, are slightly smaller and less meaty than hindshanks, but that makes them a bit easier for home cooks to prepare. Foreshanks offer great flavor but, as with all hard-working muscles, must be slow cooked to tenderness.
About Welsh Hill Lamb
Raised on family farms in Wales, Welsh Hill Lamb is processed in state-of-the-art plants and butchered with expert precision to assure the highest quality and consistency. Welsh lamb is so highly regarded for its excellent eating quality and expression of place that it has earned Protected Geographical Indication (PGI) status from the European Union.
A Long Tradition of Caring for the Earth
For generations, Welsh farmers have made the most of the country’s primary natural resources: rainwater & grass. They favor non-intensive farming methods, have improved pasture management methods, and helped maintain a diverse rural environment.
Environmental sustainability is a top priority for Dunbia, the producer of Welsh Hill Lamb. Dunbia’s parent company, Dawn Meats, is the first European beef and lamb processor to gain Science-Based Targets Initiative approval for their sustainability goals. They invest over €1m annually in on-farm sustainability ventures and are founding members of the European Roundtable for Beef Sustainability, the UK Cattle Sustainability Platform, Origin Green, and WRAP/Meat in a Net Zero World.
