Standard Cut
If you are a novice at keeping sheep and lambs then opting for the standard cut means that you will receive the most common joints and chops from your lamb. It will save the hassle of trying to choose from the individual cut list for joints that you may not be familiar with. Once you have tried the standard cuts then you can opt for some different from the individual list next time.
A standard cut consists of
Legs – whole or half joints
Loin – cut as barnsley chops
Best End – cut as rack of lamb
Shoulders – whole or half joints
Chump – as chump steaks
Neck – as fillet
Breast – as mince
Individual Cuts
For an individual cut, there are a myriad of ways we can do this. Some of the more popular options are listed below, but we can cut to your exact specification.
Legs and shoulders – you might want the bone removed, or the joint cut as leg steaks, or we can dice or mince. The shank normally comes attached to the joint we we can separate these for you, if required.
Loin – As well as Barnsley chops, there are noisettes, loin chops, or left as a whole cannon.
Best End – we can French trim the standard rack, or turn it into cutlets or Valentine steaks.
Chump – as well as steaks, this can also be a roasting joint.
Breast – whilst many use this for mince, you can have this as a flat cut, or boned and rolled.
Burgers – part of your mince could be used for lamb burgers
