Cheers Arry They do mate, but the bonus is they get very tame so they are easy to handle. Im a bit short of grass at the moment and the little sods keep doing the great escape…..Jacobs can jump really well so I’m afraid unless I deer fence they always find a way.

I take it you’re keeping the meat for you and family? What’s the comparison in flavor and fat content of the meat, compared to normal blackface etc. For example I know certain old breeds of pig have much heavier fat content in the meat and a different flavor to the commercial pig breeds. Yeah, hopefully mate. I don’t worry that it has to be “Lamb”, I just let them eat grass until I want one and the bigger they get the better the return. I killed a 5 year old ewe last time and it was miles better than young lamb and about 4 times the meat. Couldnt tell you about fat on sheep, I just have not killed enough of them to be a judge but for pigs I like plenty of fat. Topping up with rolled oats did the trick on my last pigs, great big layer of fat 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Alerted a neighbouring farmer to two rams fighting a few year back. By the time he got there one was flat out. The winning ram continued to charge its enemy's head. It survived but was touch and go for a few days. That’s why I’m killing a couple of last years ram lambs, they are castrated but I don’t want to find out if it will be a problem…..they won’t be doing damage in the freezer mate. Gave a few quid for my pedigree ram there and I don’t want him damaging himself either for no reason. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I've been killing and eating hoggets all autumn, did the last two just after Christmas, they've been delicious especially considering they've been living off scrub rather than grass. Was great to watch them hoovering up blackberries though. Sure that's got to be good for the flavour 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
