How Your Meat Arrives

We ship frozen lamb straight from our ranch to your door. Here's exactly how it works, what to expect, and what to do when your box shows up.

We Ship on Tuesdays & Wednesdays

We ship frozen meat on Tuesdays and Wednesdays to keep orders moving through the delivery system and reduce the chance of weekend delays.

Once your order goes out, you'll get tracking information and delivery updates sent to your inbox.

What's Inside the Box

Every box is packed by hand, right here at the ranch.

Inside, you'll find:

  • Vacuum-sealed, frozen lamb cuts wrapped in kraft paper

  • Recyclable insulated liners (no Styrofoam)

  • Dry ice or gel ice packs, depending on the weather, season, and shipping zone

  • Kraft paper to fill extra space and help keep everything insulated

Our goal is simple: your lamb arrives cold, properly packed, and ready for your freezer.

When It Shows Up

Most orders arrive within 2–3 days after shipping, depending on the delivery location.

Your lamb should arrive frozen or partially frozen. Some thawing during transit is possible, especially during warmer weather.

According to the USDA, frozen food can be safely refrozen if it still contains ice crystals or measures 40°F or below, provided it has been handled safely. If your meat has partially thawed, use a food thermometer to check its temperature rather than relying on how cold it feels.

If anything seems off when your package arrives, take photos and get in touch with us right away.

Where We Ship

We currently ship frozen lamb throughout California.

Shipping is charged at a flat rate based on your delivery location, with rates ranging from $15 to $45. You'll see your shipping rate at checkout.

We use insulated packaging with ice packs or dry ice depending on the season, temperatures, and how far the box needs to travel.

A Note About Dry Ice

If your order includes dry ice, you'll see a warning label on the box. There may still be some inside when your order arrives, or it may have completely evaporated. Both are normal.

A few things to remember:

  • Never handle dry ice with bare hands. Use insulated gloves or tongs.

  • Don't put dry ice in your refrigerator or freezer.

  • Allow remaining dry ice to evaporate in a well-ventilated area.

  • Never seal dry ice in an airtight container.

  • Keep it away from children and pets.

Questions? Just Ask.

We're a small ranch, not a fulfillment center. Every box that leaves here was packed by someone who knows what's inside.

If you're wondering about shipping, cuts, bundles, or freezer space, reach out. We'll talk it through.
