Ovation Weight-ranged Shanks


Ovation Weight-ranged Lamb Shanks Are
a Game Changer for Chefs

 When lamb shanks are weighed by the piece, not by the pack, every portion is equal.

Not every lamb is created equal, which means not every lamb shank is either. Many meat producers focus on box weight, not piece weight. A box of lamb shanks that vary randomly in size and weight makes it hard to plate consistent portions and means you sacrifice prep time, quality and flavor. As a long-time meat wholesaler, we know how much this frustrates our customers.

New Zealand lamb producer Ovation does things differently. They don’t weigh by the pack; they weigh by the piece. Every lamb shank is inspected, selected and weighed by hand, giving you consistent portions in every pack and every box.

Ovation lamb shanks are 100% chef ready. They’ve done the work for you. Hindshanks are heel on and hand-cut through the stifle joint so they can sit on the plate at 90 degrees. Foreshanks, cut at the elbow end, are knuckle tipped.

About Ovation Lamb

Expert butchering, 100% yields, and zero prep isn’t the only reason to buy Ovation lamb for foodservice. The eating quality is second to none. Raised on pasture year-round and 100% grass-fed and finished, Ovation lamb is aged 96 hours for maximum flavor and tenderness.

In addition to shanks, Ovation’s Chef-Ready Program offers other lamb cuts for restaurants that are weight ranged to achieve the highest standards. Lamb racks, bone-in lamb legs, and lamb striploins, are also weight-ranged for consistency. The result is top notch lamb that is easier to cost, portion, and serve.
