Half Lamb
Enjoy the flavor and variety of locally raised lamb—without committing to a whole animal. A Half Lamb from Homestead Natural Meats gives you the flexibility to choose exactly how your cuts are prepared, from roasts and chops to stews and grinds. We’ll guide you through the cut sheet step by step, making it easy to tailor your order to your family’s needs.
What You’ll Receive
A half lamb typically provides a hanging weight of 35–45 lbs, yielding about 25–35 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 rack or rib chops cut to thickness.
-
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 preferences.
Because every family eats differently, your order is fully customizable. Prefer more chops and fewer roasts? Want your leg cut into steaks instead of left whole? We’ll make sure your lamb is processed and packaged exactly how you like it. For more info and cut sheets click here.
