[QUOTE="KDM, post: 495630, member: 314"] I raise a few hair sheep here at the fort to keep my old, fat, retired azz off the couch and staying active. I have come to love the taste of lamb in all it's forms. Ground lamb is fabulous. Leg steaks (steaked leg of lamb) is fast becoming my favorite cut of meat. Might be worth it to try finding a slaughter lamb from a producer here in ND and give lamb a try. One of my 100 lb Dorper lambs (that's a breed) will produce about a 55 lb carcass. I raise mine till they throw a 80-100 lb carcass (January slaughter timeframe) because I like a larger steak or chop. That 100 lamb costs around 236 bucks live weight at the sale barn in Sioux Falls SD as of Aug 19, 2026. It then will cost about 125 bucks to have it processed. Comes down to about 7 bucks a pound for lamb chops/steaks/ground lamb. Might be something to check out from a budgetary stand point. Oh, I forgot to mention that processing your own lamb is identical to processing your own deer and a guy can skip the 125 dollar processing fee, making it even more economical. [/QUOTE]
