Why is lamb so fatty?

Sheep and cows eat grass, not known for it's high fat content, so why is lamb fatty and beef comparitively lean?

 

Cos they is lambs not sheep. Mainly drunk mums fattening milk all of their lives.
I love lamb.

 

I don't like lamb it's too lammy .When ever i have it's tough fatty na na not my favourite .

 

we had a leg of lamb given to us last week. It was amazing. Hardly any fat. Buy organic, from a local slaughterhouse if you can.

 

The fat comes mainly on the outside of the beast - there is much more meat between the outside and bones of a cow!
Have a look at comparative cuts - a leg of lamb is certainly lean but then again so are the joints cut from the legs of cattle (topside etc). For a lovely fatty bit o'beef look at a well produced sirloin or rib (saddle or rack on a sheep).
Fat on meat is where it's at (from a flavour and savour point of view)
Yum!

 

But the mummy sheeps eat grass.

 

You are over cooking the steaky/choppy bits or under-cooking the shanks/scrag-end.

Fat=flavour.
