I know there was a post a few months ago about getting a vacuum sealer but I cannot find it. I need a new one and wondered about the best to get to wrap a few lambs for the freezer. Thank you all.

That's a bit cruel isn't it? Wrapping lambs for the freezer? :o :innocent: :roflanim: :roflanim: :roflanim:
I have found this thread although you may need a bigger one, I would try ebay they are very good or nisbetts?

I stick to my answer in the thread that WBF has posted. I have the Andrew James. It works well but the bags are expensive.

Thanks WBF that is the thread I was looking for.
To the others one of the lambs could go in minus his fur coat at the moment as he keeps duffing up the quad bike.

May be you are looking for this thread? http://www.accidentalsmallholder.net/forum/index.php?topic=5348.0 (http://www.accidentalsmallholder.net/forum/index.php?topic=5348.0) They've given many options for brands.
As for me, I use maxkon vacuum sealer which was orderd on Crazysales (http://www.crazysales.com.au/vacuum-sealer/). When I wrap with freezer paper I've also started wrapping a couple times in saran wrap first, then freezer paper. Seems to do a better job at protecting meat. I will use the vac sealer for processed meat like sausage, sticks, etc as well as the good chops and steaks. I will use the paper for trimmings or stuff I've already ground up and plan on processing into something else in the not so distant future. Them freezer bags get spendy.
