How Much Does the Meat Cost?
The cost of your lamb will be based on “carcass weight.” Carcass weight is what the animal weighs after being butchered and is typically about 50% of the live weight. Our grass-finished lambs will weigh approximately 100-120 lbs so the carcass weight will be about 50-60 lbs. A half lamb provides about 18-22 lbs of meat.
Our price for 2023/2024 is $4.75 / lb carcass weight.
When comparing this purchase price of our grass finished lamb to regular lamb you buy at your supermarket or butcher’s counter, you can figure that your grass finished meat will cost about $8.50 per lb. (including processing fees). Of course, different cuts of lamb are more preciously priced at your grocery story (i.e. ground lamb burger vs. rack of lamb) and grass finished lamb at most butcher counters can cost between $10.00/lb for ground lamb to $18.00/lb for a rack of lamb.

How Much Actual Meat Do I Get?
A whole lamb provides about 35-45 lbs of meat. A half lamb provides about 18-22 lbs of meat. This is a nice amount for a regular sized kitchen freezer or to supplement your deep freezer with a different protein option. Lamb can be cut and packaged in small or large portions for intimate meals or large gatherings.
How Much are Processing Fees & When do I Pick up the Meat?
Our lambs are processed in December and March. Once your animal has been processed, you'll be notified to come pick it up at the processors, Lower Valley Processing in Kalispell. You will be responsible for paying the processing fees at the time you pick up your meat. Butcher fees for a whole lamb are approximately $140.00/lamb.
Remember that you are purchasing a whole animal and we encourage you to ask for any parts of it that you can utilize; this includes dog bones, soup bones, organ meats, etc.
