Lamb butcher in Phoenix-Mesa area?
Millers supplied the lamb from one of the local farms. Its hanging weight was about 75 pounds We did not weight the boxes of meat but my understanding is you loose about 10% -15% of hanging weight during the processing (cutting up) of the carcass. At $3.00 a pound we considered it a great price.
As far as lead time, we ordered it two weeks before we wanted to pick it up.
I believe you could source the live animal yourself and have it delivered to the plant (or bring it in on a leash).
Lamb butcher in Phoenix-Mesa area?
Just purchased a whole lamb for Easter. Price was $ 3.00 per pound hanging weight which included the lamb and processing. When we picked it up it was given to us cut-up, packaged in plastic wrap and paper, labeled, and frozen. So far I made both legs and some chops. Taste great. Definitely will buy again.
Plan to cook the head (capozzelli di agnello) this weekend:)
