[Jacob-list] Lamb Processing Prices

[dave & katrina]

Sounds steep...  Around here we are charged a flat $35/sheep plus wrapping and freezing. We keep the skin, bones, or whatever else we ask for without charge. Interesting there is so much of a price difference.

For those of you selling retail or wholesale meat lamb, what kind of prices are you asking?  We have been selling whole lamb for $2.25/lb hanging weight or $4/lb wrapped & frozen.

  We are scheduled to have 3 lambs processed in Nov.  The cost is $54 ea. plus a $50 fee for someone to come to the butcher shop to dispose of the remains.  The $50 will be split among 5 customers, for a total of $64 per lamb.  This is why we will be taking our crossbred lambs that weigh more.  These kinds of prices do not make it economical for us to take smaller lambs such as our Jacobs.  

                                                                  Mary Spahr
