If I actually liked meat (which I never did) I would like to think I would go in the same direction. They really look like they have had a marvellous life.

They are such gorgeous creatures and appear to have had a very happy life (who couldn't be happy in such a beautiful place) and I hope you enjoy them after they are back from the butcher too.

It's a really special thing to be able to be so involved in the life and death of the animals that you consume.

People have really valuable skills and facilities - proper slaughtering, proper butchery etc and that using those skills means we pay due respect to the animal and the skilled person.There are other things I can do, like (hopefully) good sheep husbandry and growing vegetables. In the end I am really looking forward to not buying much food soon. I love the idea of supplying our own lamb and selling it too! We are not going to become rich on it but we will close the gap between producer and consumer , by-pass the supermarkets and tell people about how we raise our babies.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16547410700199878385noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3258484059999383214.post-71921713468460515282013-12-15T20:30:17.592+11:002013-12-15T20:30:17.592+11:00When I was young we often had a carcass hanging in...When I was young we often had a carcass hanging in our carport which would later be cut up on the kitchen floor. I suspect the whole process might have worked better had we (like you) got a butcher to do it (often the meat wasn't great and I suspect our knife skills or lack of them didn't help either.....).
