In reply to the discussion: Anyone know why lamb is so cheap now? $4 to $4.50 pound for boneless leg [View all]frazzled
(18,402 posts)6. I bought a rack last week
though I can't remember what I paid for it (though it's always reasonable at Costco). It's something I buy so rarely, and it was to make a quick dinner for a visiting guest.
Cut it into 8 pieces and made baby chops in anchovy/caper/sage leaf reduction.
But if it's getting cheaper, I'm game! I love lamb, and every spring I make a lamb stew with fava beans, baby turnips, carrots, and (cheap) champagne. It's become a welcome to spring tradition here.
Okay, I'm getting too "cooking" here.

Very, very high cost of hay and feed resulting from the past few years of drought.

You can learn a lot about non-beef meat prices by watching McRib availability
