Smaller butchers will buy via sales, larger groups like the supermarkets buy on contract and through stock agents. I worked in the rural sector for about 20 years driving Sheep trucks & trailers. When I was driving we had three deck sheep/single deck cattle trucks and trailers taking about 600-650 lambs to the meatworks, but now my brother's company has 4 deck sheep/2 deck cattle and takes over 800 lambs per load. On Two years driving Road Trains in Australia we carried larger numbers than NZ ever will. |

I even love mutton; the older the better. My sister and I used to fight over the skin that formed in the kettle of it as it was cooling off in the fridge. Yummy! |

Unless you own a farm. Most NZrs don't like lamb. Too fatty and tastless. A 2-tooth hogget gives far better tasting meat than lamb. :) |

| 725720 | 2008-12-04 04:26:00 | Yes it can. If it's 2 tooth it MUST be a hogget, unless it's a very old ram which has lost most of it's teeth. :thumbs: | Richard (739) | ||
