Bulk lamb
Bulk orders (wholes and ½ lamb) require a non-refundable deposit of $50, and you can choose from a standard cutting (our recommendation to optimize your yield and value) or custom cutting. Custom cutting is an additional $5. Your phone number is given to our butcher and he will call for your instructions.
Cost per lb is based on carcass weight (the weight of the carcass before it is cut into chops, roasts, etc. with the bones and trim still on), and the take home weight is approx 70% of carcass weight. The final cost includes the $70/animal cutting, wrapping and butchering fee and $0.15/lb waste disposal fee.
