Organic in terms of foods is like Cell-Tech in terms of body bodybuilding.....
It does show how good quality of living is at the moment. People can demand their food be grown less efficiently and be more expensive.

barry full of shit once again, taking a word and running to the hills with it.
relax man.
Just because an animal is free range doesn't mean it's organic. If they have any hormones, antibiotics etc then they shouldn't be classed as organic. Same if they grazing in a paddock that has grown with synthetic pesticides, herbicides, fertilizers etc.Not sure what an 'organic' sheep/lamb would entail.
Sheep are free range in most cases from what I can see, they roam freely around paddocks, or often large rural properties foraging for food. I also note that in hard times (when it is dry) they are fed some large round bails of hay (I been told they cost about $20-30 per bail, I only asked the farmer where I buy my hay when I need it, as a horse feed bail will cost around $120-150, hoses won't eat the cheap stuff), not sure what sort of hay it is the sheep eat, but almost looks like straw to me. I don't believe any of the sheep around here are fed grain or anything other than these large hay bails or what ever food they find around the farm.
I also know that they will eat weeds and other vegetation (not just grass) that horses for example won't touch or even look at.
Only reporting what I see around me every day, have not thought about it too much. Also all these sheep out here are for eating not wool production.

Sheep and cows can also be held in the final stages to fatten them up. If this is the case, they're not classed as free range.

I have a friend who buys all his groceries from an organic market, has a wife and one young child and it costs him over $500 a week in food to buy 'organic'
It's a crazy world out there
I believe Cattle can only survive for about three months on a diet of grain unless they are on antibiotics? I'd rather not eat something that is being killed by what it is eating.I much prefer grass fedWhy?
i don't know a heap about sheep but they will eat grain some are definitely fed grain as a certain percentage of their diet (sheep or cattle can't be fed a 100% grain diet) but i am not 100% on the extent of it in Australia.
I do find this grass fed movement funny. People want grass fed meat but are not happy when the reproductive part of a grass is fed to the animals. So what is it?
