Hot House Spring Lamb Prices and Production Notes
Spring lamb sells around 181 a pound with wholesale costs $14 to $20 per carcass. Butchers report small margins due to high wholesale prices and limited call. The hot house lamb season runs from now to late March, with origins in New Jersey, Kentucky, Missouri, and Long Island. Lambs are raised in hot houses to fatten them using warmed facilities and controlled grazing for tender, early market-ready meat. The piece also includes a literary segment on South American gauchos and London fuel emissions.
