Spain: The lamb and goat sector at Christmas
Lamb and goat production in Spain is carried out primarily in extensive systems: livestock farms that graze in harmony with nature and depend on the cycles of the land. This model contributes to biodiversity, prevents wildfires, supports rural populations, and generates employment in areas where this activity is essential.
The sector has fewer farmers due to a lack of generational succession, smaller flocks, production limited by nature itself, and a general increase in costs affecting the entire chain (feed, energy, transport, services, materials, and European regulations). Therefore, choosing lamb or goat of Spanish origin means opting for a top-quality product with traceability, food safety, and certified sustainability. Every purchase directly supports the more than 150,000 families linked to extensive farming in Spain.
Every lamb that arrives on the Christmas table is the fruit of daily, quiet work. Its value isn't high: it's fair. Behind it are farmers, villages, nature, and a way of life that we all must preserve.
