Either way, there is no USDA Edible Grade. For lamb and mutton, the

commercially available grades are limited to Prime and Choice. Lower

grades (Good, Utility, and Cull) may be used in other products but are

not sold as is as food.

The long blurb you gave us from PHP said it was from animals that had

been carefully sequestered from Mad Cow disease. There would be no

reason to keep sheep from Mad Cow. The equivalent transmissible

spongiform encephalopathy in sheep is called scrapie. Considering their

statements about USDA grades, it would not be too surprising to find

that they did use sheep that have not been exposed to Mad Cow. Dr. Dane

might have a different supplier from beef that had not been exposed to

scrapie.
