" THEIR DAYS MAY BE NUMBERED"
12:37 PM
Let me introduce the "boys", Stewart and Shish-kabobby. As the title might suggest, they aren't pets, but food. I know it sounds harsh, but November 2nd they will take that final ride to the butcher. This is my first attempt at eating what I raise. For those who say "I don't like lamb" you are missing out. I've posted a simple recipe on how to make the perfect lamb chops
from "Mario Batalli". If you have a fantastic lamb recipe, please share. I have a cousin in Payson who raises lambs and makes a lamb sausage. I'll let you know on that one.
