Thread: Getting Lambs Butchered

Try this crowd, they've got quite a waiting list but you could at least use their cut list to get a bit of an idea.

Well that's easy to do....your roast is taken care of via back legs taken off at ball joints. Chops are dead easy BUT they are your t bone steaks,you could steak back legs same as venison but if you have access to bandsaw,freeze and just go nuts... Mince from mutton is ok use of flaps if not too fatty. By using bandsaw to make lots of chops you won't have many spare bones for broth lol.

Twenty two, garage rafter or tree, wheel barrow for the guts, skinnings the hardest, sharp knife, builder saw or reciprocating, clean table, hatchet, plastic bags and freezer. Don’t feed em overnight. Watch you tube first!
Your welcome

Didn't mean home kill butchers, heaps of videos on doing the job yourself.

yes easy as much easier than say a big red stag its just getting rid of all the bits big hole in backyard

I put skin and guts into the council provided compost bin at the gate.truck takes it away....trick is to fill bin close to collection day not the day after in hot summer weather.as said earlier find a shepherd....

Back legs into roasts maybe two from each depending on how big.
Loin Chops through the bandsaw cuts a bit thinner.
Balance in sausages/mince worked for us for years.
Easy to do and a good lamb sausage takes a power of beating.

I did one last week for myself.

@Mrs Beeman I noted your "like". I would make the model husband eh I use these, have done so for my whole mutton cutting up life. Onto my second set. After I've halved it with a saw it's all done with the loppers. No bone chips and a nice clean job.

I think sausages were his favourite disposal method.

sausages are better than mince - lamb/mutton mince tends to be fairly fatty. One of us doesnt have a gall bladder any more so really fatty food is a no no

There's quite a story to Maca49's 22 and sausages.
