18 months ago, we bought our first sheep. One year ago, we birthed our first lambs. Today, we butchered our first “extra” ram. Meat Anticipation.

we will age it for 48 hours, at 7°-8° then we will break down into proper cuts.
first “large” livestock we have butchered on-site, ourselves. we’ve done some small pigs, tons of rabbits and birds but this was a first.
I will try to show some finished cuts when done.
for the record: I’m using the “managerial we” here. my wife does 80% of this from birth to freezer. I help with lots along the way, but she full time farms, and I earn outside the home 40 hrs. we team it on weekends and evenings.
