Ovation Lamb Chop Comparison

A small cluster of sheep graze amid a vast landscape of gentle, rolling green hills and pastureland in New Zealand.

These Eyes Don't Lie:

See How Ovation Lamb Racks Stack Up Against The Competition
The best eating experiences come from consistent size, quality & flavor. That’s what you get with chef-ready Ovation lamb racks, made from 100% pasture raised, grass-fed New Zealand lamb and designed with foodservice in mind.


The Most Consistent Eye Size

Check out the size of this eye!

The eye size of Ovation wholesale lamb racks is the same — or even bigger — than their domestic counterparts. Notice also that the depth of the Frenching and length of the bone are in proportion to the meat, which makes the chops look much better on the plate, an important consideration in a fine-dining presentation. The chart shows how the eye size in a domestic rack changes dramatically from shoulder to loin. Don’t opt for a big plate presentation in exchange for minimal meat!

No BROKEN BONES

Tired of sharp, diagonally cut, or broken bones on your lamb racks? You won’t have that problem with Ovation wholesale lamb racks. Every lamb rack has 8 fully usable bones, so you won’t come up short when cutting chops.

Exact Weight Grading


Cuts in Ovation’s Chef Ready Program are weight ranged to higher standards. Every Chef-Ready piece is hand weighed to ensure consistent sizing every time. In addition to racks, the Chef-Ready Program includes weight-ranged bone-in legs, striploins, and shanks. The result is top notch lamb that is easier to cost, portion, and serve.

100% Yields, 0% Prep

Hand-selected, consistently butchered cuts are just two reasons Ovation wholesale lamb racks are a cut above the competition. Ovation lamb is grass-fed, pasture raised year-round, and aged 96 hours to achieve peak flavor and tenderness. No hormones, antibiotics or GMOs are ever used.
