Shetland [[lamb]] is a [[Template:Protected Designation of Origin|PDO]] registered [[lamb]] derived from the native breed of Shetland [[sheep]] and its derivatives. [[lamb|Lambs]] are born, reared and slaughtered in Shetland, which is a group of islands in the North Atlantic off the north coast of Scotland. The texture and flavour of Shetland [[lamb]] is distinctive and different from [[lamb]] derived from other breeds of [[sheep]] produced in other areas of the UK due to the topography, geology and climate of the Shetland Islands.

The Shetland [[sheep]] is a distinctive breed native to the Shetland Isles. [[lamb|Lambs]] are produced from either Shetland or the Shetland/Cheviot ewes. [[lamb|Lambs]] are slaughtered within 12 months of birth and marketed either as a whole or cuts of [[meat]]. Only [[lamb|Lambs]] from the defined area may be slaughtered and dressed in accordance with set specifications in the designated area. The carcass weight should be in the range 7kg - 14kg for pure Shetland and up to 20kg for crossed [[lamb|Lambs]].
