Whole Lamb
Bring home the rich flavor and versatility of locally raised lamb—custom cut just the way you like it. A Whole Lamb from Homestead Natural Meats gives you full control over how your meat is prepared, from roasts and chops to stews and grinds. We’ll walk you through the cut sheet step by step, making it simple to create the perfect combination for your family’s meals.
What You’ll Receive
A whole lamb typically provides a hanging weight of 70–90 lbs, yielding about 50–70 lbs of take-home meat once processed. Your order may include a mix of:
-
Shoulder – Bone-in or boneless roasts, or shoulder steaks cut to your preferred thickness.
-
Loin – Left whole, cut into chops, or trimmed to your preference.
-
Ribs – French racks, rib chops (cut to thickness), or whole sections.
-
Leg – Left whole as a roast, or cut into steaks of varying thickness.
-
Shanks – Choose stew meat, grind, or keep whole.
-
Neck – Sliced for stew, ground, or left whole.
-
Additional Options – Hull, stew, or grind depending on your family’s preferences.
Because every family eats differently, your order is fully customizable. Whether you prefer thick-cut chops, elegant French racks, or more ground meat for everyday cooking, we’ll ensure your lamb is cut and packaged exactly the way you want it. For more info and cut sheets click here.
