Lamb Champs is not just a competition—it’s a movement that celebrates South Africa’s family farmers, their expertise, and the world-class lamb they produce. In an era where many meat industries have shifted to corporate control, sheep farming remains deeply rooted in family-run farms, where generations pass down knowledge, pride, and passion. What makes lamb unique is that it is still enjoyed in its purest form—on the fire, as chops and roasts that bring families and friends together. Unlike processed meats, lamb retains its authenticity and premium value. Lamb Champs bridges the gap between farmer and consumer, sharing the story behind each cut of meat and ensuring that these farmers continue to thrive. Backed by key partners like Pick n Pay, Toyota and Old Mutual and others, this initiative isn’t just about recognition—it’s about creating real opportunities. Pick n Pay is giving shelf space to Lamb Champs meat, allowing shoppers to support the farmers they’ve come to know through the event. This edition of Lamb Champs takes place as part of the Parys Alleras Show—a renowned multi-species agricultural show that runs from 2–6 September 2025. While the Alleras Show includes cattle, small stock, horses, poultry, rabbits, and more, Saturday is all about lamb. It’s one of only four Lamb Champs events in the country, and a major highlight of the agricultural calendar. Come for the lamb, stay for the experience: At its core, Lamb Champs is a celebration of our farmers—the custodians of our land, our traditions, and our future.
