It used to take some time to de bone a ewe I’m not sure if the process has moved on since then. Some say they steam wash the meat off the bones now

Process is ready done with a swale

Tidy trade again.
What are the doing with these ewes at £250 to £300?
That's got to be over £3 a kilo live.

Mind a guy told me he sold a Suffolk ewe to a boy and he got 1000 pies from her.

 

[ritchiekirkland]

A lot of kebabs out of a £300 ewe.

Boys that’s runs slaughterhouse near here told me they use 8-10 big ewes to make a roll of kebab, and he emphasised BIG!

Wonder how many kebabs they get out of a roll?

Elephants legs are 20lb of lamb and cost about £40 each ….

 

[Hilly]

9kgs , say average portion 333grams so 3 kebabs to kilo , lets say 30 kebabs at ??? £6 ?? So turn £40 into £180 gross … roughly , then you have staff rent rates gas etc etc ,,, be nowt fancy££ unless selling loads n loads … fast food shops seem labour intense to me …. Labour ££££

There won’t be the numbers about until March now I think.

 

[Devil's advocate]

How long does it keep before it’s past its best?

Wheat germinated out of the pyramids, 4,000 years.

 

[Boydvalley]

Friend who does a lot of stores says his are at least a month behind where he would expect them. Price increasing mid Jan means a lot will be thinking they will only earn by keeping.
personally I don’t think numbers are there. Not enough born last spring due to the dry summer.
Completely different this year. Most Scanning’s seem to be back to normal. Early summer trade could be the one with not so many singles about.
