About Schwartz Meat Company

We’re the Schwartz Family: Zack, Margaret, and our children Bryce, Nora and Parker. Together we’re carrying on a family legacy as the 6th generation of the Schwartz Family to raise sheep. We’re raising our kids alongside our flock of sheep in Flemingsburg, KY. Zack and I started this journey wanting to share our lamb with friends and family and quickly realized we had an entire community looking to support local farms.

As farmers, we spend long days on the farm, but we are blessed to be able to raise our children on a farm where they can explore and learn some of life’s best lessons. After all, we are raising the next generation of agriculture.

Our family, feeding your family. 

We’re proud to be able to supply your families with locally raised pork & lamb. All of our lamb is bred, born, raised, and finished on the farm. 

Our Berkshire & Duroc pork is finished on the farm. 

We work hard every day to raise our livestock with the best practices resulting in delicious, nutrient dense meats. 

We’re glad you're here!

Order Lamb Shanks online from local farms and butcher shops.

This flavorful, slow-cooked cut is known for its rich taste and melt-in-your-mouth tenderness.

 Lamb shanks practically melt off the bone when they are slow cooked. Lean on fat but big on flavor, the meaty shank is perfect for braising in a slow, simmering broth. They come from the lower part of the leg on the lamb and make for a hearty meal. 

Why Choose Lamb Shanks?

  • Deep, Savory Flavor – Ideal for braising and slow-cooking, lamb shanks offer rich, comforting flavor.

  • Perfect for Cold Weather – A go-to comfort food in the fall and winter months.

  • Impressive Presentation – A rustic yet elegant centerpiece for special meals.

How to Cook Lamb Shanks

Lamb shanks are best braised or slow-roasted to tender perfection.

  • Sear on all sides to develop flavor.

  • Simmer in a covered pot with broth, wine, garlic, and herbs for 2–3 hours.

  • Serve with mashed potatoes, risotto, or crusty bread to soak up the sauce.

Lamb Shank Cooking Temperatures:

  • Cook to at least 160°F for fall-apart tenderness.

  • Braising temperature: Maintain a low simmer at 300–325°F oven temp or stovetop.

Fun Facts About Lamb Shanks

  • Lamb shanks are often featured in Mediterranean and Middle Eastern cuisines.

  • The connective tissue turns into gelatin during braising, giving the sauce a rich texture.

  • Leftovers make an excellent filling for shepherd’s pie or lamb stew.

Lamb fries were amazing, first time trying them, just coat in flour and seasoning no need to salt, they are naturally salty. told my kids they were chicken nuggets, and they had no idea. the lamb shank was to die for. I used it for bone broth, then ate the meat after, so tender, delicious, and meaty

The Schwartzes make the best pork chops - I’m not sure they could taste any better.

Thank you for providing us with a flavorful pork that tastes like it did when I was growing up. I haven’t ate much meat in years, but I was amazed that I was able to eat a plate sized pork chop all by myself! It was just lovely. I’ll be back.
