Guest guest Posted March 9, 2012 Report Share Posted March 9, 2012 As a sheep raiser and eater --- let me just put in my two cents on this lamb - I've grown this particular breed (along with 'spanish goats') -- and can tell you that this IS a good price even if it's not what she advertizes what she feeds them -- if she really does feed 'grass feed' and the pasture IS rich in multiple grasses and legumes and rushes etc - it's a VERY good price, and I'd take her up on a half a lamb if I didn't have my own source of mountain meadow grown lamb that I buy every year. I'd even see if she'd do a co-op price which is what I do to keep the cost down for the rancher -- they get the f lease, and multiple lambs for free, and I get a sheep or two for nearly nothing since I pick it up myself. Not all ranchers can afford to run a heard this large - but asking would not hurt. And if fed as she says, and you hang it well - you'll have some of the best lamb you'll ever get. If you have to freeze it - read about 'dry curing' -- to increase the intensity of the flavors. paul Dream Well. Travel Well. May you Walk Your Path in Beauty.
