New Zealand grass-fed lamb shoulder, bone-in, sold by the pound with an average weight of 45-50 lbs per case. This premium cut comes from lambs raised on New Zealand's lush pastures, where they graze year-round on fresh grass without the use of hormones or additives.
The shoulder is a well-marbled cut from the upper front portion of the lamb, featuring rich, full flavor and natural tenderness from the grass-fed diet. The bone-in preparation adds extra flavor and keeps the meat juicy during cooking. This cut is ideal for slow-roasting, braising, or smoking, where the connective tissue breaks down to create exceptionally tender, pull-apart meat.
New Zealand grass-fed lamb is naturally lean with a pure, mild flavor and offers superior nutritional benefits compared to grain-fed alternatives. It is lower in saturated fat and higher in vitamin A, vitamin E, omega-3 fatty acids, and conjugated linoleic acid. The lamb is raised in natural conditions year-round, promoting animal welfare while producing meat that is naturally tender with a slightly sweet, full-bodied taste.
