Thanks, Sharon --__--__-- Message: 3 Subject: RE: [blackbelly] what to expect from a lamb? Date: Thu, 23 Sep 2004 11:53:47 -0500 From: "Crawford, Dr. Stephen" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Diane: I would figure that you should get about 30-35lbs of meat from a 50lb animal, which is about what we normally get. We normally ask for leg of lamb (bone in), shoulder roasts, chops (loin), brisket, rack, shanks, (great for soups), some stew meat, and the rest ground lamb (great for taco, chili, lasagne, enchilades, even spaghetti. You should have enough meat for the stew and ground. We even ask for the kidneys, heart, fryers, liver. We use them for gravy giblets, for our cats and dogs (after boiling them, they love to eat them) or even for some homemade Haggis (Yes, were Scottish). Hope this helps.
