How Pricing & Weight Work

• Price: $14.50 per lb hanging weight — All-Inclusive! (This price includes all slaughter and butcher cut-and-wrap fees—there are no extra hidden fees).
• Estimated Total: Our whole lambs typically have a hanging weight between 40 and 55 lbs, making the estimated total cost around $580 – $795 (minus your $200 deposit).
• Take-Home Meat: Expect roughly 70–75% of the hanging weight in packaged meat, depending on your custom cutting preferences (boneless cuts, bone-in, trimming, etc.).

Custom Butchering & Cut Sheets

You have full control over how your lamb is prepared:

1. Custom Cut Sheet: Specify your exact choices for primary cuts including Leg (bone-in roasts, boneless, or steaks), Shoulder (roasts, chops, or stew meat), Loin & Rack (loin chops, rack of lamb, or roasts), Shanks, Ribs, Ground Lamb, and optional organ meats or bones.
2. Standard / Butcher's Choice: Don't want to customize? Choose "Butcher's Choice" and the butcher will process your lamb into a standard mix of popular cuts.
3. Submitting Your Cut Sheet: Once your harvest date approaches, you will be asked to fill out your custom cut sheet online directly through Lester's Custom Butchery.  

Storage & Freezer Space

• Freezer Space Needed: A whole lamb takes up approximately 1.5 to 2 cubic feet of freezer space.
