    Hi I'm not sure but on this site it's £90....

    I'm sure I saw in Birmingham it was less than that too, so youmight have to shop around?

    I think it's depending on if it's organic or not?

    Sounds like a good piece of meat if it is organic and as you will know what it has been fed etc

    How do you ensure a sheep is organic? Surely it's impossible to be absolutely sure what it has eaten wandering over the hills?

    My butcher charges £2.68 a lb for a whole sheep and they average between 40 and 50 lbs. A 50 pounder would work out at about £130.

    Hiya, I have just watched a sheep program and the farmer was selling some sheep at a market for around £75 each - live ones. Then there is the work and profit on top.
    If winter comes, can spring be far behind?
    Spring begins on 21st March.

    It doesn't sound too bad a price to me. I was chatting to a butcher a couple of months ago, and he was saying that lamb has shot up in price recently. And even he was having to pay around the £100 mark for them. And these are non organic, btw.
