Recently this cut has taken over the leg as the go-to-cut for a great family roast. This part of the animal works hard, so the meat is full of rich flavour and tender roast. The shoulder's combination of fat, collagen and meat reward with a richly flavoured, tender roast.  Our Free Range Lamb shoulder is great slowly roasted on the bone.

This lamb shoulder is from Gundagai Lamb, located on the eastern slopes of New South Wales. The warm temperate climate creates the perfect conditions for raising lambs, with endless lush pastures and fresh country air for lambs to roam in freely.

Each lamb is graded on the perfect balance of intramuscular fat and tender lean meat, this is measured by the GLQ score. GLQ SCORE 5+ equivalates to the delicious marbling throughout the cut and higher lean meat yield.
