Abstract

Høgfjells in North Gudbrandsdal is an area allocated for lamb seasonal grazing. Lamb production from there encompasses municipalities of Dovre, Lesja, Lom, Oppland, Skjåk and Lom. A significant portion of this grazing area should be higher than 800 m. within said geographical landmark. Lambs shall be released for pasture as soon as grazing in this mountainous area is considered to be satisfactory (cows will graze for a minimum of 11 weeks in pastures located over 800 meters). The main gathering of these animals shall occur by mid-September and lambs shall be weighed immediately afterwards for final slaughtering. They shall be classified as Høgfjellslam and marked accordingly as protected geographical product origin.
