Must be the difference in locations.

I'd say. Lamb is $12.99/lb with fat and bone. I haven't bought steak since it went over $15/lb. The chicken was $2.09/lb.

Wow. Sis just slaughtered a sheep/lamb (It was a sheep or yearling, by definition and size but she called it a lamb) for dog food.

It was good enough that the dogs are getting a little extra corn-meal and a little less meat in their dog-food, and we kept the good parts.

NZ lamb for restaurant use? I can see the $13US price, maybe.

I wouldn't pay any more for lamb than goat, and they go under the knife when they start costing me $0.85/lb.

That doesn't count the cost of processing the meat. I do that here. Anyone that can read and is willing to try can learn to process a carcass.

Oh my! Your food is very expensive. I refuse to pay more than $2.99 for any meat unless the whole ribeyes go on sale at Krogers for $3.99-$4.99 a pound then I’ll buy it and have them cut into 1” steaks for free that last the two of us for months.
