What do you get in a side of Lamb?
Lamb is a great tasting versatile meat. From chops to roasts – you’ve got variety to suit any meal or weather!
We’ve broken down and weighed a side of lamb so you can see exactly what you’re geting, and roughly how much of each cut!
How much of each cut do I get?
During our photography day, we weighed out the lamb you see above! As this is a natural product, some variation will occur so please use the information below as a guide only.
In summary, we recieved about 11kg of lamb meat from our “side of lamb” and as you can see a good mix of chops, roasts and slow cooking meat!
| Cut | Weight Kg |
| Whole leg of lamb | |
| – Leg roast | 1.734 |
| – Leg roast 2 | 1.819 |
| – Leg Roast 3 | 0.736 |
| Loin chops | 2.066 |
| Forequarter Chops (round bone) | 0.723 |
| Forequarter Chops | 2.2 |
| Lamb Shank | 0.5485 |
| Lamb Neck | 0.425 |
| Ribs | 0.634 |
| Total “meat” | 10.8855 |
Was it good value for money?
Absolutely! Even before factoring in taste into the equation!
Our side of lamb cost around $135, and we recieved about 10.8kg of meat. This means our price /kg of meat was less than $12.50/kg! (as of 26.4.2023)
This is a massive saving, as most meat these days is easily $15 to $20/kg or more in the supermarkets.
The best part is that a side of lamb takes up about the same amount of space as box of wine, so typically it should fit in a standard fridge/freezer!
