Title: Lamb meat prices
Post by: AllenHTFarm on March 30, 2015, 08:42:32 am: I'm sure this has probably been posted a million times but,

Does anybody have a price list of what they charge for lamb, the cuts individually and for half a lamb or whole lamb?
Thanks

I work out the price on that basis then usually round it down a bit because I am selling to friends and neighbours. Hope this helps!

Have had a look at the eblex site for traditional butchery based on the prices for all the cuts sold seperately it would average out at around £10/kg for a half or whole butchered lamb - quite a bit more than we charge but we are not selling the individual cuts/joints.

Last year our lambs weighed in cut up at 10.5kg -13.5kg. We had 1 lamb who weighed in at 17kg per half. None of them were fat though just large framed lambs.
