Ordered my side of beef & lamb today

[pumpkin pie]

Sorry Hally its in SA. Didn't know there would be same towns, in another state. When I saw you mention Mt Barker, I assumed it was in SA. Hope you find your free range chooks at a good price. I always find it interesting that free range costs more, as really it doesn't cost more to keep free range chooks. Do you live in the country, as you could raise your own meat birds. We used to do this with our neighbour before her husband died.

No i live about 8kms from the city, chickens not allowed in our suburb.

Well I still have some beef in the freezer.
1 leg of lamb & 1 pkt of lamb mince

So I have ordered a whole lamb, 10kgs of chicken breast (Mt Barker skinless) & 4 chickens.

Pick up tomorrow.

Our butcher is great, he just rang to confrm how I wanted the lamb.

Happy Hally

What do people pay for a full lamb? Just for interest sake.

Are you from Perth Hally? We are in North Perth so very interested in which butcher you go to to buy in bulk? Is it cheaper than buying from the supermarkets?

Thanks

Dede, Last time I bought the lamb it was $9.90 per kg. will let you know later what I paid today.

MEP, yes I live South of The River. Yes not only is it a lot cheaper, but the quality is far superior. The butchers I buy from are a wholesaler to restaurants here in Perth & have a small retail side too.

You can pm me if you want more details.

I get mine for free from DH, and as I never buy any lamb I don't take any notice of the price in the supermarkets, butchers etc.
I'm assuming a decent size leg of lamb would be $30 - $40 each then.

[Halex]

I know those lovely french trimmed cuts at the local shops here are $3 each!!!

not sure of the price in sdy hally, i dont buy lamb.

[dede]

Wow, actually my friend buys lamb cutlets for her and her DS, I think a pack of 4 is $8. That's a lot of money for a mouth full. At least buying in bulk the cost is much better.
We buy a full pig for $120, lamb is around $120 (if we brought it) and a cow around $600-$800 depending on size. Our freezer is looking pretty sad at the moment. We need some beef and pork in there to go with our lamb.
