Cooking Class: How to Season Lamb Simply

Lamb has incredible natural flavor so you don’t need to overthink it.

Start simple:
✨ Kosher salt
✨ Fresh cracked pepper
✨ Olive oil
✨ Garlic
✨ Rosemary or thyme

That’s it.

Let the richness of the lamb shine. You can always build from there with cumin, coriander, mint, or smoked paprika. But simple is often best.

What’s your go-to seasoning combo?

Certificates of Veterinary Inspection will be required. If you have rams over six months of age on sale day, they require a negative bovis test on your CVI to sell into states that require that test. These states include most of the western states and the state of Missouri. We will be able to make copies of your CVI onsite, as each ram will need to have a copy of the original for our files. We will have a Vet onsite sale day to write papers for the buyers.

We look forward to seeing you at the NSIP Center of the Nation sale on Saturday, July 25, 2026 in Spencer, Iowa.
