American midwesterner here. There is really only one food I ever ate that had any lamb in it. That's the Kronos GyroKones, from Chicago. Those come in all-beef, beef/lamb, and all-chicken. The Greek-American restaurant that my family frequented had to drive their own truck to Chicago to get their gyro meat. The US just doesn't raise much sheep for food. We grow corn, soy, wheat, alfalfa, and non-alfalfa hay. Then we feed it to cattle, dairy cows, chickens, pigs, layer hens, and turkeys. (The beef cattle and dairy cows might as well be different species, along with the meat chickens and egg-laying hens.) If you count the heads of cattle in the US, and multiply by 7%, that's about the headcount of sheep. It's all due to the profit margins. If the US really wants wool or lamb, it ships them in from Australia or China. Local farmers can't compete unless they brand as "local" or "free range/organic".
