That's a good price. How many kg will it be Hally?
A great cook is one who can rustle up a fabulous family meal with some freezer burnt chops, wilted carrots, sprouting potatoes and cabbage that's gone brown on the cut edges.

He told me he would cut them up to however i wanted so I asked for the following
2 legs of lamb, lamb shanks, mince, loin chops, chump chops, forquarter chops, some crown of lamb, some ribs. In hindsigjt i should have got some diced lamb, and backstrap, but its my first time.
I am not so sure on the forequarter chops, it was a choice of them cut into a roast or chops. As sumer is on ts way i thiught choos as he said they were a nice flavour on the bbq.

I have asked them to get me a quote on chicken, mt barker free range breastd & whole chickens. Weceat more chicken than anything ese. Ds has chicken breast sandwiches for lunch quite often

That's a great price. We got about $5 a kg dressed weight for our lambs last week at the sale. Normally we'll only get about a fifth of what the butcher's sell it for.
