Lamb (meat)
Our next group of butcher lambs will be available Fall 2021.
If you would like a reminder to send a deposit for lamb(s), subscribe to our farm update email list. We will also update the info on the website. If you have questions about the general process of aquiring a custom cut, whole lamb, email us at dautobiacres @ yahoo.com
An entire lamb, processed is about $350.00, usually made in 3 payments
- lamb deposit/securing fee of $50.00 (can be paid anytime to secure a future lamb)
the remainder due $200.00 (this is due a week before we take lambs to processor)
and then the payment for cut/wrap/freeze (made to the processor) when you pickup your order (95.00 - 110.00) for a standard cut lamb, it costs extra to have lamb smoked, made into sausage, frenched racks, boneless net wrapped roasts or lamb ham. You can discuss this cost with the processor before you leave a deposit. Processing can even be lower - if you only need your lamb quartered or left whole for spit roasting.
The farm accepts payments from PayPal, major credits cards, checks and money orders. The processors typically accept credit cards, cash and at least local checks - but check with them to be certain. As we use more that one local processor, it is difficult to keep all options posted here.
Ground lamb Avg 1 lb $9.99 Sold Out
Our ground lamb is packaged in one pound packages. We ask the processor to keep it on the lean side - 80/20 and it is leaner than most other ground lamb we have seen.

Patties made from ground lamb and NOT seasoned.Lamb Chops - Rib or Loin Avg 1 lb or 2 lb packages $14.99 per lb Sold Out

Lamb "stew" meat - boneless $10.99 per lb Sold Out
Boneless meat for stews, soups, etc. 1 lb packages are the typical weight. This photo was the last batch processed and is lean. Hopefully most will a just a tad more of that good grass-fed fat. If you also buy lamb soup bones, you can throw a bone in while it cooks and have added nutrition. Lamb Soup bones $ 2.99 lb Avg pack 2 lbs Sold Out
Assorted bones -- can be marrow, blade, joint, rib, etc. with attached meat, fat and/or cartilage. It is difficult to pay a processor enough to sort and classify between marrow, blade and/or flat bones. We do try and get you the best package however. Just let us know if you have a preference. Lamb shanks $7.99 lb Avg 2 lbs (2 each) for Foreshank Avg 4 lbs (2each) for Hindshank Sold Out
Two per package. Lamb foreshanks and hindshanks are a more affordable bone-in cut that offers great flavor when slow-cooked (braised or roasted) until the meat becomes tender. Let us know if you prefer fore or hind shanks. Lamb ribs $6.99 lb Avg pack 2 lbs Sold Out
Rib strips are lamb spare ribs cut into three sections. Some processors leave as a single section of ribs called short ribs.
Lamb Shoulder Chops $8.99 lb Avg pack 1 1/2 pounds Sold Out
Lamb shoulder is cut into blade and arm chops, both are referred to as shoulder chops, but have a different bone type. Blade chops have a cross section of the shoulder blade and arm chops have a cross section of the foreleg bone. They can be cooked as a typical shoulder chop or used as a bone-in stew meat (for those wanting a little bone broth in their stew or soup). Chops per package and weight vary, so check the details when we process more lamb.

Supporting small farms helps keep open areas open, they are more inviting to wildlife than a parking lot or fast food place or housing addition ! Our pastures and ponds support many types of birds, small mammals, amphibians, reptiles, crustaceans and pollinators. If you are concerned about the watershed, food shed and/or carbon sequestration, keep supporting your local, small farms.
