Whole Lamb - DEPOSIT - April 29 harvest

What are the benefits of purchasing a whole lamb?

• Locks in your supply ahead of time
• Saves shopping time and travel
• Avoids future price increases
• Allows a choice of cutting options
• Sets aside special cuts for your holidays

How much space do I need in my freezer?

A rule of thumb is one cubic foot of freezer space for each 35-40 pounds of cut and wrapped meat. Allow slightly more space when the meat is packaged in odd shapes.

The final packaged lamb could weigh a little over 30 pounds, but will vary depending on factors such as the size of the actual animal, whether or not you choose to take the bones, the percentage of fat you keep in the ground meat, and whether or not you opt to save the fat.

What cuts do I get?

Illustrated below are the basic primal cuts from a lamb. We will work with you to order the cuts you prefer and communicate those choices to the butcher shop!

What is the cost?

You pay an amount per pound of the hanging weight plus butcher costs.

Lamb whole: $15/lb. hanging weight (usual range 28 - 38 lbs.)

Butchering costs: $150 (rough estimate) for a whole lamb
