The lambs are harvested on the farm for a $95.00 per animal fee and transported to Valley Meat Services in Wallowa. Valley Meat charges $.99 per pound to cut and wrap (vacuum-seal) the meat.
This is what the pricing looks like for a lamb weighing 125 pounds. Please remember that carcass weights vary from one animal to the next, and your lamb may not look exactly like this one.
