[Jacob-list] butchering lamb

[Paintedrockfarm at aol.com]

HI Linda,
 
I've personally not butchered a younger lamb, opting to wait for them to  
grow out a bit like you.  However, many locals that buy locker lamb from us  love 
doing pit lamb -- the size is ideal for smoking the entire animal slowly  
either an all day event or overnight.  A Muslim doctor who buys from us  also 
elects to roast the entire lamb in a large oven roaster and swears by its  
tenderness and flavor.
 
We've been considering doing a pit lamb for July 4th cook out this  year.  A 
friend of ours has huge BBQ pit roaster he constructed out of a 35  gallon 
metal drum.  He also constructed an electric turner inside so  the unit is 
self-sufficient in slowly cooking the meat.  Just check it  occasionally, baste or 
inject marinade and, PRESTO -- ready for eating in a few  hours!  I'll let you 
know how it turns out!
