And 'over the odds' would be how much..?0 -
If you can get it go for texel meat, certainly the best IMHO. If you like a bit of fat then Hampshire Downs.Most people overlook opportunity as it comes dressed in overalls, and looks like hard work.0

Personally, I'd prefer a bit of 'Price Downs', which is what this thread is supposed to be about.0 -

Isn't price relative to quality?Most people overlook opportunity as it comes dressed in overalls, and looks like hard work.0 -

I would check the local farm shops and butchers for prices on lamb, it sometimes is a little more but the quality is outstanding in my local one. The steak I bought today is so different from supermarket steak, the colour, the texture, it's all so fresh, only sad part is I met the cow most of it came from
but I can get over that bit. 2 large sirloins, 3lb stewing steak (granted most of it was from topside or rump as he'd ran out of the usual) 2lb mince, 8 links of lovely chunky Cumberland sausage and 16 slices of bacon came to just under £15. Quality is more important to me, but I do believe in paying a fair price.
Texel is one I haven't tried yet but is mean't to be very nice.One day I might be more organised...........
GC: £200
Slinkies target 2018 - another 70lb off (half way to what the NHS says) so far 25lb0 -
Please keep to the topic everyone. Why are we paying through the nose for this product, no matter WHERE we buy it?0
