We tend to make more mince from the older ewes but actually - a bigger leg means more leftovers to make into curry/stew.


We send our ram lambs at the end of their first summer and the ewe lambs that we are not keeping we send at the end of their second summer.
We do the best we can with the information we have

When we know better we do better

Diced shoulders, for stews (I don't curry it as I don't want to lose any of the flavour).  Loin whole or boned and rolled for roasting.  Legs whole or halved for roasting, or steaks, or diced for stews.  Mmmm, yummy...

Shoulders double-cooked Greek style - very slow roast 4-5 hours on alow temp. with wine, rosemary and garlic.  When cooled, strip meat from the bone (really easy), break into pieces.  Reheat when required, and serve with potatoes/rice/couscous/salad :yum:

Don't listen to the money men - they know the price of everything and the value of nothing

Live in a cohousing community with small farm for our own use.  Dairy cows (rearing their own calves for beef), pigs, sheep for meat and fleece, ducks and hens for eggs, veg and fruit growing
