Running a smallholding has many facets to it, and the meat issue was only one, and necessary for the survival of our small farm. I am not a great fish eater, although Hubs is. But that is not farmable! I could live on fruit and veg though, but the farm's needs dictates that I must make the compromise of handling the meat issue.Verahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13235143664894609891noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-833961486558166275.post-58050173198858399592010-08-24T23:34:13.881+02:002010-08-24T23:34:13.881+02:00Lamb meat is very popular in the Middle East and y...Lamb meat is very popular in the Middle East and you'll find plenty of recipes on the web. Most people like it grilled and with spicy rice addition.But you'll find also intricate lamb dishes.<br /><br />Anyway, after reading this post, I'm going to turn vegetarian (LOL). The truth is I mostly eat fish as its meat is more delicate and I believe it helps maintain the optimal body weight.DUTAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12979375799258978432noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-833961486558166275.post-27108073518500324112010-08-24T16:43:09.487+02:002010-08-24T16:43:09.487+02:00Would agree Diane.

However, the logistics of having four large lambs plus one very huge ram being hung for even a day in the heat we are having at the moment was just not do-able, flies being the problem. Oh we could have wrapped them up to protect them from the flies, but flies being flies, well they would have still swarmed round the meat even if they couldn't actually get to it. Eventually we will have special facilities to enable us to hang the meat in clean and clinical conditions but until then, we will continue to do as we did at the weekend. Perhaps your farm was more sprawled out so you had the space. We are tiny, with no usable barn space at this time, so we had no option but to recycle the animals into the freezer speedier than we would have liked. I think your Rhodesian farm and our five hectare smallholding are not quite in the same league with each other!Verahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13235143664894609891noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-833961486558166275.post-59218821571540585482010-08-24T11:52:04.519+02:002010-08-24T11:52:04.519+02:00Sounds like it was a good day in the end with lots...Sounds like it was a good day in the end with lots of food ready in the freezer. One thing I do not understand though is killing and freezing straight away. I always understood that meat needed to hang to tenderise. I always used to hang our meat in the good old Rhosesian days when we were farming. DianeDianehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14782670749466305626noreply@blogger.com
