Grass-Fed Whole Lamb

Our 100% grass-fed lamb is raised using holistic management practices that regenerate the land and improve ecosystem function.

 

Why purchase a whole or half sheep now? When animals are harvested during the growing season, you get peak flavor to enjoy year-round from your freezer. It's also economical and keeps your dollars directly supporting local land stewardship. Plus, you can honor and enjoy the whole animal by reducing waste with a "nose-to-tail" experience. 

 

Standard cuts:

• Chops
• Ribs
• Shank
• Roasts (leg and shoulder)
• Ground
• Stew meat

Half lamb shares cannot be customized for cuts. Whole lambs are 100% customizable -- we go over your custom cut sheet together.

Your whole lamb will take up approximately 2.5 cu ft of freezer space. Depends on your exact freezer but usually this fits in your standard home freezer. A chest freezer is a bonus for extra space (gotta fit that pork share too?). 

You pay a deposit upfront that covers the animal processing cost and a portion of the meat cost. You pay the remaining amount at the time of pick-up when we know the actual weight of the animal you are receiving.  The hanging weight of our sheep is between 50-65 lb, which results in about 35 lbs of packaged meat.  

 

Here's an example breakdown for a 60 lb hanging weight: 

• Meat cost: $9 per lb * 60 lb = $540
• Harvesting fee = $150 
• Total: $690
  • $300 deposit
  • $390 paid at pick up

Why fixed and strict dates?

We pick up the meat frozen from the USDA processor on those days and do not have space to store your meat. Your meat will be frozen solid and perfect for transport that day.
