Gundagai Lamb
Gundagai Lamb
Gundagai Lamb is free-range, halal-certified Australian lamb from Gundagai, on the eastern slopes of the Riverina in New South Wales. Every lamb is graded with Gundagai's own GLQ score, which measures marbling, lean meat yield and animal health.
Herd & Grace sells Gundagai's top grade, GLQ5+.
Gundagai Lamb was founded in 2020 by the Barton family, who have been leaders in the Australian meat industry for more than 100 years.
Gundagai pays its farmers on quality, not just weight, and sends them data on every carcass so they can keep improving their flocks. Every GLQ5+ box carries a QR code that traces it back to the source.
