Lamb is the most expensive of the three types, and in recent decades, sheep meat has increasingly only been retailed as "lamb", sometimes stretching the accepted distinctions given above.

A single slice (68 g) of beef liver exceeds the tolerable upper intake level of vitamin A (6410 μg preformed vs. UL for preformed = 3000 μg). [4] 100 g cod liver contains 5 mg of vitamin A and 100 μg of vitamin D. [5] Liver contains large amounts of vitamin B 12, and this was one of the factors that led to the discovery of the vitamin. [6]
The Southdown was traditionally reared for meat and wool. During the day the sheep pastured freely on the downs, and at night they were close-folded in the arable fields of the farmers, where they helped to increase soil fertility.
