1/2 Lamb Pack

Approximately 7-10kg of organically-produced lamb *.

Lamb Cuts

Your half lamb pack will contain a variety of cuts suitable for year round cooking. Below are the cuts you’ll receive in a half pack.

• 2 x Leg Roasts (bone in) – approx 1.5kg each **
• Loin chops
• 1 x Easy carve forequarter roast (boneless netted roast)
• 2 x shanks
• Neck chops                                              

Lamb comes bulk-boxed for you to portion and pack yourself for economy (see below). 

* Our lambs are up to 12 months of age. Depending on what time of year you place your, we may occasionally need to substitute hogget in place of lamb. Our hoggets are approx. 13 – 24 months of age and have very similar flavour and tenderness to lamb.  And the best thing? Most of our customers actually prefer the slightly more complex taste of hogget 🙂 See Lamb/Hogget tab for a more detailed explanation.

** We typically cut your whole leg roasts into 2 smaller pieces to ensure it fits into your oven. If you’d prefer, we can leave them as 2 whole pieces (each approx 40cm long). Just request this in the ‘Special Instructions’ box. **

Please note: Weights may vary +/- 3%, with price adjustments made for any weight variation outside this range.

* A NOTE ON OUR LAMB AND HOGGET PACKS

Please note that we have made two specific changes to our lamb and hogget packs.

You may wonder why?

It’s simply because we’ve realised we need to streamline and improve our livestock handling and admin practices.

1. For the most part, our lamb packs will consist of lamb, but hogget may be included if necessary (both taste yummy!). Where possible, we’ll do our very best to supply customers with lamb.  However, as the year progresses (and the lambs grow up), we may occasionally include hogget in your order in place of lamb. We’re sure you’ll enjoy the slightly deeper flavour of hogget – which is very similar in taste and tenderness to lamb – and is actually the meat of choice for the majority of our customers.
2. Ensuring year-round supply of sheep meat to you. Each year, all our lambs and hoggets are born within a few months of each other. This means while some are still classified as lambs, others have lost a baby tooth and become a hogget. There is very little (if any) difference in flavour or weight at this point. We’ve even had lambs lose their baby teeth and become classified as hoggets in the days between selection and transport! The extra handling of each individual animal to ‘mouth’ them (literally to count their teeth!) makes for a long day and a sore back! This is why we’ll do our best to supply lamb, but occasionally you may instead receive hogget.
