Farmers gets $9 but thats not my point getting way to pricey for consumers

Crazy huh? Funny I am literally right now talking to a grocery store about carrying our lamb. Guess I’ll have to ask for those kind of prices. Lol I know their usual meat margin expectation, and am quite giggly if they go for it, because it would give us a very nice piece of the pie. Pretty hopeful.

But seriously, talk about pricing yourself out of a market. And we wonder why lamb sales struggle. That is plain crazy. Somebody making money there!

Sheep wheat ...you are too honest for your own good....

[Sheepwheat]

I am generally honest. Too honest? I dunno, I guess I take that as a compliment??

No question it's expensive but there aren't very many chops on a lamb and they gotta sell the whole lamb. Guarantee they aren't selling lamb ribs or stew meat for 50/kg and all has to average out. And look at the price of good quality fish or prime rib, or the famous beyond meat stuff, all are out of reach for average consumer.

Wouldn't the "wool on" instead?

Seriously though I've never understood the lamb price in Canada being higher than beef - it was always way less than beef in Scotland - as it should be in my opinion as it's very much a secondary product.
How is it priced relative to beef in Australia Mallee?

Lamb in Canada is definitely not a secondary product. It is much harder to find, it is what the richer people want. Canada imports half our lamb. So Canadian lamb is even more highly valued because people often want locally grown meat.

If it was an inferior or secondary product, people would not pay 50 bucks for a rack at a restaurant, or 15 dollars for a half lb of shishliki!

I think in Canada, lamb is an exotic type meat, sought after, uncommon, I mean, where is your nearest lamb in a grocery store, especially Canadian lamb? I know I cant find any. Consumers, especially rich consumers are very willing to part with their brass to get a hunk of it...

Mutton can be an inferior product. I certainly get that. Even so, we have beaten out a market for our culls, and we get more money out of a cull than we do out of a lamb by making a specialty product that is in high demand.

Which brings me to this: Breed matters. Wool lamb has its flavor, which for many can be offputting. Hair lambs have their flavor, much milder, and we have businesses buying our lamb, who have had nasty wool lamb experiences, because not everyone can hack it. I have met no one who dislikes hair lamb meat.

Your post started out ok, but then you did the same thing grassfarmer did. Are you part of some white hair sheep supremacist group! Do you have special hats and hand signals?

Hair sheep matter!!
