How much meat do I get from a lamb or goat? A typical cut yield is around 70% of the hanging weight, though this depends on how you have your lamb or goat butchered. If you prefer more bone-in cuts, organs, and bones, your yield and overall value will increase. On average, you can expect around 35-50 pounds of meat from a lamb or goat. What is hanging weight? A: Hanging weight (also known as dressed weight or carcass weight) is the weight after removing inedible parts like the hide, feet, head, some bones, and most of the innards. The dressing percentage for most lambs is about 54%. For example, a 100 lb. lamb will have a hanging weight of approximately 54 lbs. How much does a whole lamb or goat cost?
Our price is $8 per hanging lb., plus processing fees. Processing costs are typically $125 per animal. For example, a lamb with a 50 lb. hanging weight would cost around $400 for the meat, plus processing fees, making the total $500-$525 (depending on the cut type). A fuel surcharge may apply for home delivery. What is the difference between a standard cut and a custom cut?
