FAQ
Understanding Lamb and Share Weights
Q: What does a 'lamb share' mean?
A: A lamb share is simply a way to purchase a portion of a whole lamb. We handle all the details, including processing and packaging. You just select the share size and complete your purchase.
Q: How is the lamb packaged?
A: Each cut is vacuum-sealed to preserve freshness and quality, and clearly labeled for easy identification.
Q: How do I store the lamb?
A: The vacuum-sealed packages can be stored in the freezer for up to a year, ensuring you always have high-quality lamb on hand.
Q: Is there a difference in taste between grass-fed and grain-fed lamb?
A: Yes, grass-fed lamb has a richer, more complex flavor compared to grain-fed lamb. It’s also leaner and contains higher levels of beneficial nutrients.
Q: Can I choose specific cuts for my share?
A: Our shares are pre-selected to offer a variety of cuts. This ensures you get a balanced selection of premium lamb products.
Q: What is a French Cut Rack of Lamb?
A: A French Cut Rack of Lamb is made from rib chops. The "Frenching" process involves trimming the meat and fat from the ends of the rib bones, giving it a cleaner and more elegant presentation, perfect for roasting or grilling.
Q: How do I cook the different cuts of lamb?
A: We provide cooking tips and recipes on our website to help you make the most of each cut. From roasting to grilling, our lamb is versatile and delicious.
Q: What is the 'live weight' of a lamb?
A: Live weight refers to the weight of the lamb while it is still alive. This is similar to how we weigh ourselves.
Q: What does 'hanging weight' mean?
A: After the lamb is slaughtered, the hanging weight is the weight of the carcass with the blood drained and the head, hide, feet, entrails, and organs removed. It's typically about 55% of the live weight.
Q: How much meat will I actually take home (packaged weight)?
A: The packaged or boxed weight, which is the net weight of the meat you receive, is usually about 55% of the hanging weight. This reduction is due to moisture loss during dry aging and the removal of bones and fat during processing.
Q: Why is there a difference between live, hanging, and packaged weights?
A: These differences arise due to the processing stages a lamb undergoes post-slaughter. Each stage (slaughter, aging, butchering) results in a reduction in weight due to various factors like removal of non-edible parts and moisture loss.
Q: What if I have more questions?
A: Feel free to contact us anytime. We’re here to help and ensure you have a great experience with our lamb shares.
