My local Dobbies does half a lamb for £50, so I think you have a bargain!

How many of you are there?

You would have 2 legs - maybe cut these in two so you have four joints?

2 shoulders - maybe get one boned and rolled?

chops

Offal - 2 kidneys, heart, liver.

2 breasts

Neck fillets

Apologies if I'm being thick here, but why just two legs?

The other two are shoulders.

Thank you so much. Amazing what you get to know on here.:)

The front legs of a sheep are very thin with hardly any meat on them. The back legs are quite muscular - handy for running uphill!

sounds like a bargain! if you don't want it all would a neighbour or friend go 'halves' with you?

I adore lamb and so does OH - but the price of it! we can rarely afford it! and I wouldn't say we were particularly mean with the food budget.
my mouth is watering - if you get those lovely loin fillets - lamb medallions cooked very simply in a little oil, then a lovely rich sauce - with new potatoes, peas............................................oh sorry, was off into a lamb fantasy then!

Its a good deal, but will it come ready cut, (which could cost at least £40) or will you be skinning it first?

whyhave you got to eat it for the rest of the month? why can't you leave it in the freezer longer?

Surprised to see this post. We got a lamb killed at the start of the week and it has been hanging. Tomorrow we are getting it butchered for £20. The whole lamb was £70 so under £100 but its for the freezer as we will use other meat.
