Lamb for us, we breed our own so from birth to plate, we know the history of what we eat, we know they eat untreated (no chemicals) grass year round. We only eat the ram lambs though. |

Always best to know where meat comes from. Does it taste a bit too strong? |

It is very flavoursome, more so than the supermarket meat, or even local butchers meat, but not strong. Ours are bred as a hobby (started out as pets for the kids) and not solely for their meat or fleece, they are Shetland sheep so quite small, bit if we sold to restaurants they would sell for a premium. |

Haha, no, the freezer isn't big enough, and Mrs _archel is of the equestrian persuasion, and I wouldn't eat horse meat anyway. |

Haha, well it's usually about 7pm in our house, but always worth the wait. Mrs M is an outstanding cook when she's not outstanding in her field |

Thank goodness! I was slightly alarmed for a minute although our old shetland cross was told she was going to the butchers on numerous occasions
