How our product names work

Every mutton product at Nizami Farms carries both names, English first and Urdu in brackets: Mutton Shoulder (Dasti), Mutton Back Chops (Puth). At Nizami Farms, mutton is goat (bakra). Lamb is sold on its own page.

Every cut is cut after you order and weighed after cleaning, so 1 kg on your order is 1 kg of meat. Not sure whether to pick lean or regular? See what lean meat means.
