boxed weight vs carcass weight

At Gilberdale, we believe in complete transparency and feel that you should only pay for the meat that you actually receive.

When comparing suppliers, it is always good to find out if you are being quoted on an actual boxed meat received weight, or a carcass weight prior to the meat being processed, as there can be a 30-40% difference!  

Our prices, are all on final boxed weights.

When purchasing meat, it may be handled by multiple organisations / people between its time in the paddock to your plate.  This can equate to long distances travelled and time in cold-storage.

At Gilberdale, our lamb is raised and processed within 20km!  We are passionate that to ensure you receive the freshest quality, you need to reduce the distance that food travels.  

This also ensures, that every dollar spent supports our local farmers, community and abattoirs.

Whilst not every farm has an on-farm meat processing facility, Gilberdale is able to support other local farmers showcase the meat that they have worked hard raising, by collaborating with them to widen the meat choices available to you.  

We have chosen other farmers who we believe follow the same mind-set we do in raising "slow food", with passion, integrity and honesty.
