Shaotian Lamb from Quwo

Shaotian Lamb from Quwo is a recognized Geographical Indication agricultural product.

　　Shaotian Lamb from Quwo has a long history, with a profound lamb culture. Its unique meat texture, rich nutritional value, and notable health benefits have made it highly popular. Shaotian Lamb comes from sheep raised in 158 natural villages across 7 townships within the administrative region of Quwo County. It is a product with very distinctive local characteristics. After wheat harvest, herders graze their sheep in the wheat stubble fields, where the sheep feed on leftover wheat ears and grains. By the beginning of the sixth lunar month, the sheep have matured, resulting in meat that is tender, well-marbled, high in protein, low in fat, with a mild gamy flavor and a rich, unique taste.
