[Jacob-list] lamb weight??

[Linda Bjarkman]

We like lamb and mutton and frequently put rams over 2 years in the freezer.  There 
just isn't that big a market around here for older rams and we aren't set up to run 
an old ram retirement home.
We do ask the butcher to hang the older rams for 2 weeks and think it makes a 
difference.  
A few years ago my mother came to visit, bringing her friend that refuses to eat 
lamb.  So I cooked a leg of ram for us and chicken for the friend.  By the time 
dinner was over, she was busily attacking her own portion of old ram roast.
