  • if people are interested in buying whole/half a lamb or pig... why dont you ask your local butcher for a price.... you might be pleasantly supprised...at the price...
    Work to live= not live to work
  • i agree about shopping around in local butchers - i can get a whole lamb from local asian grocers for £50-£55 which includes:
    2lb lean mince
    7lb of steaks (or you can have it diced or left as a joint instead if you want)
    4lb ribs
    5lb lamb pieces
    6.5lb chops
    oh yes, and the kidneys too (yukk!!!).

    Sorry, am a bit useless about what bit of the animal the different cuts come from!
  • My parents get their meat in bulk, they have family in Wales who have contacts with butchers and they always come back with a couple of Bodies in various shapes and forms, we always have some kicking around.

    It takes a bit of storage but it is well worth it.

  • angeluk69.....lol.... is sound very cloak and dagger. coming to wales and getting some bodies:rotfl:
    Work to live= not live to work
  • LOL no they go to wales and come back with animal bodies, like whole lams and cows and things. NOT HUMANS

    Work to live= not live to work
  • i know, i did read and then thought 'if i edit it , it will no doubt sound worse'

    ooops
    Proud to be me, proud to be who I am!!
  • i have just phoned my butchers out of curio....

    and half a lamb... is about the £30. mark.. thats welsh lamb... might be diff for nz..

    and half a pig is about the £50. mark......which the butcher rears himself... along with beef

    all cut and bagged.....but as they were saying ..the pork even though its more money.. is a lot better value....

    Plus getting it from the local butcher means you can ask him (or her) to butcher it exactly how you want it. We did this a while ago and we've still not finished it all...
