Alberta Lamb Producers
The Alberta Lamb Producers is a dynamic partner in building a sustainable, thriving industry for all sheep producers.
ALP Vision: “A flock in every field and lamb on every plate”
ALP is a central point of contact for all industry participants. Your check-off provides an infrastructure for producers to collectively have a voice and a positive influence on the industry as a whole.
From January 1st, 2010, you will need to provide your PID when ordering tags from CCWG. Make sure you have your PID ready for ordering tags and completing manifests.
Our Commitment
Alberta Lamb Producers together with industry stakeholders will foster a renewed enthusiasm, pride and energy to nurture the growth and prosperity of the sheep industry in Alberta and in Canada.
These are exciting times for the Alberta Sheep industry.
Consumer demand is rising steadily, as people discover the mild flavour and tender texture of lamb, and Alberta lamb in particular. Canadian lamb currently fills only 50% of the current market, despite the fact that restaurants and retailers alike are keen to serve local product.
Alberta Lamb Producers’ mission is to ensure that all Alberta sheep producers have the information, training and resources necessary to take full advantage of this enormous growth and potential.
You will find this website packed with information and guidance, whether you are an established or a prospective sheep producer. If you are looking for specific information, please visit our site map which will help you to find exactly what you seek.
Coming soon – updated strategic plan to focus on building a sustainable thriving industry for sheep producers.

Alberta Lamb Producers promotes expansion and diversification opportunities
There are lots of opportunities in the sheep industry – both for existing producers to expand and for other livestock owners to diversify. Supply of lamb meets less than 50% of the current demand – a demand that is on track to increase by 40% between 2003 and 2020. Read more and view video.
ALP launches expansion campaign to bring more producers into the fold.
There are lots of opportunities in the sheep industry right now. Currently, this province only produces about half of the local market demand. To attempt to meet domestic demand, ALP recently launched an expansion campaign at the Alberta Sheep Symposium in Leduc. The campaign includes a video, direct mail, training brochures, advertising and government lobbying to help raise the industry profile. more...
The video is now available on the website, and copies are available from the office.
Industry Clothing
At the Alberta Sheep Symposium, a microfleece vest and a pique polo golf shirt were introduced with an embroidered Alberta Lamb Producers logo. This good quality clothing identifies you as a proud sheep producer, part of a progressive industry (and would make great gifts). It looks great on these items which come in mens and ladies fit; in a range of sizes and colours.
(We find the ladies vests are a little snug, so consider ordering a size larger than usual).
An order form with all the details is available here or from the office. Print and fax it now, follow it up with your cheque.
We all need a few more light-hearted moments – this T-shirt provides the perfect opportunity to demonstrate that “Baa is the new moo!” Also has Alberta Lamb Producers logo on right sleeve.
Small to 3X sizing, this colour only.
$20 + $5 shipping + GST ($26.25 total).
