The national lamb checkoff, directed by the American Lamb Board (ALB), is funded by mandatory assessments (checkoff) paid by all segments of the sheep industry. By federal law, all sheep or lambs of any age, including ewes, rams, feeder and market lambs, breeding stock and cull animals, are subject to the national lamb checkoff assessment at the time of every sale.

ALB is thrilled to announce the launch of the new Fan of Lamb Cooking Club, in partnership with the largest livestream cooking community in the world, Homemade, and head chef Joel Gamoran.

The American Lamb Board’s 2025 program includes workshops and summits aimed at equipping sheep producers with the necessary tools and resources to profitably grow their operations. Begin planning your year by discovering more about these upcoming opportunities.
