I thought this was a particularly good deal for half lamb about half the price per kilo of the supermarket, delivered in insulated cool boxes to keep it fresh. Pity I'm the only one who eats it in our house, too much for me.

That picture looks less like dinner and more like an autopsy. I'm a meat eater but I like my meat in little plastic packets so I can disassociate the meat from the animal involved.

Not a bad price delivered but, if you have a local abbattoir the rate 'up north' is about £5 per kilo. Fresh, local, properly hung, cut how you want it and working out around £80 - £90 for the average full lamb and you only pay for what it weighs. Unlike this deal where if you only get 8kg you're still paying £59.99 or anywhere between £6 and £7.50 a kilo.

Mettricks is a fantastic butcher and used by many top restaurants around the Manchester area.

Looks great value but no rack of lamb included and not sure if organic.
Anyone used this supplier before?

I bought a full spring lamb last night from my local farmer so it's definitely in season.

How do the farmers make any money off this? Factory farming will be the end of us all....

I would imagine that it all depends on when the farmer wants to breed them. Round my way some are very large now, while at other farms they are very young/small/cute.

You can say that about everything though... we pay a premium to eat meat.

Shame they kill them so early poor sods but i still buy it all the time it my fave meat still got 5 steaks in the fridge but why the hell they kill them so early??? Surely it doesnt change so much it taste like crap? Still better than chickens i suppose...

Maybe I'm a bit out of touch. My uncle used to have a small farm until he passed away a couple of years ago at 96 years of age (he was still driving his tractor and giving away his surplus to the local villagers until he was 95). He used to rear sheep/beast and turkeys mainly but the lamb was not available until June.

Ive killed to eat before. Delicious and rewarding and so fresh. Was only chickens mind. Not sure id like the mess a lamb kill would make on the patio.

I don't know about this particular retailer, but British new season lamb is definitely available to buy now & has been for a while.

I agree, but, My wife's parents rear their own pigs, sheep, hens, ducks, geese and fish all for meat. They slaughter, butcher and preserve it all by themselves, sounds good right....... I have never seen anyone eat and waste more meat in my life, they cook triple what they need, gorge themselves and end up chucking loads as they can't keep up with their own production!

I have often thought it wouldn't be a bad thing if meat eaters (of which I am one) were expected to slaughter and butcher at least one animal in their life so that they were aware of exactly what's involved when we kill and eat other animals. We are all so removed from this aspect that I don't think many of us realise the significance of being meat eaters or make truly informed decisions about being so. I think I'd probably just about manage it but I suspect I'd eat a little less meat if I'd actually had to look dinner in the eye at some point in my life!
Sorry OP, not trying to distract from the original deal, which, is a good price for some quality lamb! Gets some heat from me!

Hmmm choices choices, never had either of these as far as i know. Though not convinced the second one is salt marsh, does not say it is for certain.

A sheep in its first year is called a lamb, and its meat is also called lamb. The meat of a juvenile sheep older than one year is hogget; the meat of an adult sheep is mutton.
I have learned something new today and its only 10.30 am! :confused:

Ooooooh Salt marsh or High peak? Bet the farmers would battle with pitch-forks over that one!

Its about 1kg lighter and about £5 delivery, so works out about the same price......its just if it's salt marsh that would make it a bargain.

Another example here http://www.themeatman.co.uk/#!product-page/c1jxt/f6846c28-2dd3-6d9a-379f-2b2599b8d010 but if you really do get "salt marsh lamb" for this price it's a bargain.
