Whole lamb and goat A whole lamb or goat is $265.00. The carcass weight is usually 55 to 65 pounds. The weight of the packaged meat will vary, depending upon your cutting instructions. Whole lambs are are available a few times a year to stock your freezer. Below are some of our customers favorite ways to process a whole lamb. We will be happy to speak with you regarding all the available options, this is especially helpful the first time you order a whole lamb. Standard lamb - The lamb is processed into 4 leg roasts (leg cut in half), 4 shoulder roasts, (cut in half to about 2-3 pound roasts), chops, short ribs and ground. If you prefer more ground and/or chops have one or more of the shoulders used for these cuts. Classic lamb - Cuts used in classic lamb dishes - 2 whole legs of lamb, 2 square cut shoulder roast, 2 whole shanks, 2 spare ribs, 2 loin roasts and a a little ground meat from the neck and trimmings. Chop lamb - If you love chops, you can have a whole lamb processed into chops, ribs and a some ground lamb. Shoulder chops, leg chops (steaks), loin chops and sliced shanks. The ribs can be left as ribs (spare or short) or added to the ground lamb portion. Boneless lamb - The lamb is processed into ground lamb and boneless meat (stew chunks/cubes). The norm is one pound packages, but you can have more per package if you desire. The bones can be packaged as soup/pet bones. If you don't need the bones, you don't have to take them. Hobby chef or pit boss special - For those home chefs, grillers and butchers out there, we can simply cut your lamb in half or quarters. This gives you large sections of lamb with which to work. We can even leave the carcass whole for an impressive barbequed or baked lamb. Obviously this takes a commercial grill and/or oven, but it seems to be a popular item for large gatherings. Barbados Blackbelly lamb - This breed of sheep is known for its lean, mild-flavored meat that has very little marbling. Some folks liken it it venison or bison. The meat is delicious, just not abundant on this smaller framed lamb. Very few are available as this breed is listed as a recovering breed by the American Livestock Breeds Conservancy - http://www.albc-usa.org/cpl/wtchlist.html
Some additional charges that may apply- Lamb burger patties are .50 cents per pound additional. They are great time savers and wonderful for the grill. If you want 10 pounds of lamb patties, an additional charge of $5.00 will apply. Smoked cuts - If you want legs, shanks, etc. smoked it costs .75 cents per pound to smoke the cuts. There may be a minimum amount required - 20 pounds of smoked sausage or 20 pounds of roasts, for example. Sausages - $1.00 per pound extra, 20 pound minimum, per type (sage breakfast sausage, hickory smoked, beer bratwurst, cheese and jalapeño and the list goes on) Henry (our lamb processor) has won many an award for his sausages. He is happy to make pure lamb sausage (no pork or beef fat!).
Packaging options - For those desiring the perfect way of storing their lambs. More layers of packaging is needed if your lamb will be in the freezer longer than average. Double-wrapping is available by request. We wrap in butcher paper (lined on one side) and an inner wrap on some cuts to squeeze out the any air.
