We took our last mutton animal of the season to the abattoir today. I have never liked this job but it is all part of the job of keeping sheep. We have decided to sell our mutton from September till april leaving the summer season to those selling beef and lamb.
We originally started producing mutton because of the longer lifespan it gave our animals. Now we have discovered the outstanding quality of well hung mutton and how the flavour comes through even when cooked in heavily spiced meals.
I wonder why anyone ever cooks with young lamb, it is not in the same league for flavour as our mutton.
