'''[[Template:Skyddad Ursprungsbeteckning|SUB]] Hånnlamb''' designates the carcases and cuts of [[lamb]]s and [[sheep]] of the ‘Gutefår’ breed that are born, reared and slaughtered within the defined geographical area of Gotland. In the Gotland dialect, ‘Hånnlamb’ means ‘horned [[sheep]]’. It is the original name of the horned [[sheep]] of Gotland that were saved from extinction in the early 20th century and then designated the ‘Gutefår’ breed. The breed originates from the old Gotlandic ‘Allmogefår’ [[sheep]] breed, the characteristics of which have been moulded over thousands of years by Gotland’s climate and vegetation. The [[sheep]] are raised on natural pastures offering poor fodder compared to arable land, and have adapted to making the most of the vegetation that grows there. Their [[meat]] has been marketed both on Gotland and elsewhere in Sweden. ‘Hånnlamb’ animals intended for slaughter must be of the Gutefår breed and meet the racial purity requirements laid down by one of the breed societies (GutefårAkademin or Föreningen Gutefåret) and be included in their gene banks for the preservation of the breed. The animals must be reared on the natural pastures of Gotland.
