Hi

I have a few customers for my mutton boxes but not sure what to charge and what are the best cuts for mutton

I’ve sold hoggett and lamb boxes but I know mutton needs longer cooking

Any recommendations

Thanks

We just sell it at the same price as lamb. Different people will buy it, but those who do don't see it as inferior to lamb in any way (and it is of course scarcer), so expect it to be priced the same.

We've found that joints and diced lamb for casseroles sell well.

The absolutely crucial thing is that it is labelled as mutton. Some of our labels had a habit of coming off one year, and we had complaints about the lamb being tough  .

Cheers Womble I value all the meat the same whether mutton/hoggett/lamb

I sell in half so might just see what the customer prefer and speak to the butcher

Mutton sausages are the best.  Knock pork sausages into a cocked hat

Then any joint that suits slow roast.  And chops, ahh.... mutton chops Just roast with some moisture (wine or water, according to taste!), onions and tomatoes or apricots.. and you'll never want lamb again...

Oh, and lasagne made with mutton mince?  Spoils you for all other lasagnes....

Sounds like your a great advocate for it  I will give it a go I’m going to keep a side of mutton for myself
