Farm-Fresh Locker Lamb Buyer FAQ'S & Order Form

A: When you purchase a locker lamb, you’re buying a portion of a farm-raised lamb (either a whole or half). The cost is based on the hanging weight at the butcher, and it includes all processing, cut & wrap. You’ll end up with a freezer full of packaged lamb — customized to your preferred cuts — ready to cook and enjoy.

A: Our locker lamb is sold by the hanging weight at $7.50 per lb, and this price includes processing (cut & wrap).

• Whole Locker Lamb - $600
• Half Locker Lamb - $300

A: Hanging weight is the weight of the lamb after slaughter, before it’s cut into individual cuts. A 150 lb live lamb typically yields about 75–85 lbs hanging weight.
