I good idea IMO
.
But when I suggested it to some of my customers they got very squeamish about knowing 'their' lamb. They seem happy to visit the lambs in Spring, watch them in a flock all Summer, then allow the anonymity to kick in and buy their meat in November.
Re prices. I think you have to know what your market will stand. There is so much excellent local meat available in this area that I cannot get the price I would like (or feel it deserves). So I settle for about £7 a kg when sold as a half lamb.
It is the same with the sheep skins - I cannot compete with the company that sends all their skins to Poland for processing and then sells at the local show
. If I just looked at the economics of it, I would certainly give up.
