THAT MANY???

Posted on September 20, 2005 by Scott

It was just announced that due to the mild spring lambing this year has resulted in there being 40,000,000 sheep in the country.

That is 100 for every man, woman or child.

Makes you think.

    Ahhhhhhhhhh number of chops is dependent on the cut. Two racks per lamb … so maybe … 12 per lamb … two forequesters two hind quarters and a nice pair of gloves ……

    (I actually find lamb too fatty)

    Send all your extra lamb here, then. It’s my favourite meat.

    A fun fact to know and share: lamb is the least allergenic meat, therefore a wonderful first meat for baby human omnivores.
