Abstract: An analysis of lamb production, marketing, meatpacking, and consumption in the Northeast indicates the need for a lamb processing cooperative. The region currently exports half of its lambs for slaughter and then buys them back for consumption. Cooperative lamb processing alternatives are described and evaluated. Four involve the possibility of using existing plants slaughtering lamb and veal calves. One involves construction of a new plant.
