[QUOTE="Hartwig, post: 6749656, member: 1256"] Had just sold some late ram lambs to my local abattoir and got a really bad feedback because their fat turned yellow shortly after slaughtering, see picture !?! That`s totally unbelievable to me as we`ve already butchered far more lambs this winter directly for consumers or sold to my local butcher and none of them had yellow fat ! Surprisingly, 2 lambs from the same group went to my local butcher the same day and they`re just brilliant with pure white fat. Does anybody know why this could have happened ?? The owner of the abattoir said that they got wrong feed, but I have fattened them only on covercrops with a lot of volunteer cereals and a lot of peas in flower, some vetch, radish and a few sunflowers. But the peas were gone with the first night-frost in early november. They got no concentrate at all. He mentioned that the peas might be the reason, but he won`t buy any further lambs from me. Does anybody have a similar experience or an explanation for the yellow fat ?? [ATTACH type="full"]855865[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
