FAQs

 A half lamb takes up 1.25 drawers in a standard upright freezer, and a full lamb takes up about 2.5 drawers in the same style freezer.

Our lambs are predominantly fed on grass and clover with the free run of the herbs from our farm hedgerows. In a year of poor weather conditions either too wet or hot (which can affect grass growth) we supplement with Irish based grains and windfalls from the orchard. This applies more to end November- December when the conditions are wetter and cooler but the mix of some grain and windfall apples is a great boost to them. They also thrive on left over sweetcorn in October /November .

The carcase weight is based on the cold weight of the lamb 12 or more hours after processing by the abattoir, which is about 18 to 20 kgs.

We produce lamb every week from July to mid-January and customers have several options for collection as stated above. Our lambs are born from early March right through to early May and although born predominantly indoors within three days are with their mothers out on grass so there are learning quickly to feed and live off what is natural. They are then ready from July onwards. This gives the unique flavour of a life that is natural to them hence the lovely flavour.

Individual sections vacuum packed for your freezer, and then presented in a cardboard recyclable box. The lamb is labelled so you know exactly what each piece is. For nationwide it is covered in icepacks in a Polystytherene box with clear special labelling for delivery purposes
