What lamb cuts to get??

[Bogweevil]

Breast - much underrated, sad shame to mince it - boned and rolled - fine roast, fatty but flavoursome or baked in breadcrumbs, which is fiddly =.

Personally I get our lambs done into chops, leg& shoulder joints, everything else into a few burgers and a few bags of mince … most other stuff like the neck and stuff is too tough for me

Lamb, or better yet mutton, burgers are excellent.

 

[Guiggs]

Legs halved
Shoulder halved
Chops in bags of 4
Neck bagged for stew
Breast minced
Can't really go wrong that way!

 

[twizzel]

Legs whole,, halved or cut into leg steaks (great on bbq)
Shoulder whole or halved
Chops as chops in packs of 4
Breast minced or boned/rolled
Neck sliced or minced
That’s the options we give those who buy lambs from us.

dont get the bit about the neck, its the best bit!

60s and 70s you couldn't give breasts away, dad would bring a great bundle in to the house, I'm sure there was more left than when you started.

Better breeding as of course improved the quality of both the breast and neck.

Don't cut the shoulder in half. The joint with the leg attached is too small to feed one person let alone two. whole it makes a lovely joint.

Back legs are boring so best cut for chops, which are more a modern family meal rather than the traditional Sunday roast.

Rolled breast or just roasted flat is the best bit so don't mince.

where it says 'or' you need to make that decision before you book them in, abattoir ladies are scary you don't want to be upsetting them by being indecisive.

Are you referring to my old friend Denise .

Love the neck fillet. Cooked whole on the bbq in the summer and sliced up . Delicious

Yep, I learned a long time ago that when Denise says "jump" the correct response is "how high ?". Folks say that the customer is always right, not in this instance .

That’s very good to hear, John and Denise deserve to slow down, they have worked bloody hard for a very long time. I seem to remember they started just before foot and mouth but I might be wrong. John needs to buy a fishing lake in France and retire but not sure Denise is that keen on my chosen country . If you see them and remember please say hi from me.

Will do, lambs to pick up Monday then bullocks in on Tuesday, I think we will be paying for their Christmas .
