WHOLE LAMB SHARES

When do Whole Lamb Shares open?

Whole Lamb Shares will open for reservation in June 2025 after our lambing season wraps up.

Do you offer half shares of lamb?

The best way to get a half lamb share is to find a friend who will split one with you. Send us an email at jeremy@lambsquarterlivestock.com if you'd like a half share and we can accommodate this if we have an even number of people interested in half shares.

When will lamb shares be ready?

Our seasonal lambs go in for processing in early November. Whole lamb shares will be ready for pick up in mid-November, exact date TBD.

How do I get my lamb share?

Whole lamb shares are only available for local pick-up at this time. Pick-up will be at the Rhubarb Botanicals Farm, 681 IA-1, Mount Vernon, Iowa in mid-November. 

How much freezer space do I need for a whole lamb share?

Whole lamb shares range from 45-65# and your freezer space needs will vary depending on the size of your lamb. Typically, a whole lamb share fits in a standard home freezer if it begins empty. If you have a chest freezer, reserve at least 1/3 of it for your lamb.

What if I place my deposit for a whole lamb share now but am not able to follow through with my reservation?

Your reservation deposit for a whole lamb share is non-refundable. However, we can transfer your reservation to another person if you are able to find a committed customer to take it. In addition, if we have a waitlist for whole lamb shares we can transfer your reservation and issue payment back to you, minus a 10% convenience fee.
