Teal Posted June 15, 2020 Report Share Posted June 15, 2020 Sold quite a lot of these on PW now, (many thanks everyone!). Today I've sent in another batch of lambs, they will be hung a week at the butchers and I will pick them up and ship Wednesday (24th June) for delivery Thursday (25th June). These are rare-breed Barbados Blackbelly crossed with Wiltshire Horn sheep. As slower growing breeds, they are lot leaner than most commercial sheep. A half lamb box weighs around 6kg so it works out around £12/kg, with a half lamb box at £75 and a whole lamb box at £145 including parcelforce delivery to your home. They will be packed with icepacks and wool insulation, to keep them chilled and are cut to the spec below. These lambs are a little smaller than the ones I would usually send, so you may get an extra cut to make up the weight to give an average lamb box weight of 6kg and 12kg for whole. If you live locally (Trowbridge, Wilts) I can offer non-contact delivery, and save on parcelforce fee etc. Whole shoulders on bone Whole legs on bone Loin Chops (done as Barnsley chops) Rack french trim Breast - mince Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cockermax Posted June 16, 2020 Report Share Posted June 16, 2020 Hi took a full lamb off you in March. It was by far the best lamb we have tasted. Will take another full lamb off you. Sort out the details tomorrow if ok Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lloyd90 Posted June 16, 2020 Report Share Posted June 16, 2020 Hi mate where do you send them? Do you get any bones that would normally be disposed of? Would be interested in a half box and some extra bones if they are going to waste for my dog 👍🏻 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will take another full lamb off you. Sort out the details tomorrow if ok Amazing!! Thank you so much - yes that's perfect, I should have your details saved. That is really nice of you to give such lovely feedback. It is certainly great lamb!! But we are a bit biased of course... @Lloyd90 the abattoir we use is Broomhalls in South Gloucestershire, it fits in with our ethos, and having watched the process there I can honestly say that their standards and husbandry are superb. When I started I took my first lambs to a different abattoir, and I'm afraid the same could not be said. I swore I'd never go back there, and actually have to drive the lambs a bit further to get to the small village abattoir I now use, but there is no way I could send my animals to somewhere they were mistreated. It's one of the main reasons we do lamb boxes to be honest, as we know exactly what happens to our lambs when the leave the farm. Couldn't bear them going through the stress of a market and a less reputable abattoir. I usually go to Bristol actually with a drop-off if you message me your address maybe can do the drop direct, or can meet. Yes there are bones but it is tricky because everything I handle is chilled and vacuum packed. For a half lamb you would get either the liver or the heart.

theshootist Posted June 28, 2020 Report Share Posted June 28, 2020 Mine arrived safely. I'm very happy with this lamb. Chops were fantastic.. ribs next! I will not buy from the shops if I can keep getting this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teal Posted June 30, 2020 Author Report Share Posted June 30, 2020 @theshootist Thanks so much for the kind words ! Thrilled to hear it is going down well Our favourite cut is always the shoulder, which is sounds like you still have ahead of you I'm sure everyone who ordered has realised, but I just noticed my original post said whole shoulders. At the last minute we actually decided to cut the shoulders and legs in half this time, with the lockdown had a lot of requests from people so they had the option of a smaller roast, but could cook both halves together if a whole was desired. Hope that was ok! For anyone else interested, looking like it will be 5th or 6th August for next lamb box deliveries (will be taking lambs in on 27th July). Will put a new topic up nearer the time for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
