Bayannur Lamb

Bayannur Lamb

Bayannur Lamb is a geographical indication certification trademark.

　　The Urad Grassland in Bayannur, bordering Mongolia, is an important livestock production base in the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region. With a total area of 5.09 million hectares and 4.139 million hectares of usable land, the grassland has nurtured nomadic peoples such as the Xiongnu, Xianbei, Turks, and Mongols, leaving behind a long and splendid nomadic culture.

　　Over 1,000 types of forage plants grow on the Urad Grassland, with more than 100 being highly nutritious and palatable, especially grasses and legumes such as sheepgrass, fescue, needlegrass, wheatgrass, and wild oats, which are very suitable for feeding livestock.

　　Bayannur Lamb is tender and succulent, rich but not greasy—once you’ve tried it, you’ll never want to eat any other kind. Classic Mongolian lamb dishes include hot pot lamb, hand-grabbed lamb, roasted lamb leg, braised lamb, and stone-grilled lamb.
