Cheap Lamb

[Guest guest]

FYI:

Seen on www.mumsnet.com from a farmer's wife (or she might even be a

farmer herself I guess) in Scotland.

Britain has a massive surplus of Lightweight lambs due to the F & M

crisis, Farmers Weekly has joined forces with Farmers First to source

lightweight lambs and deliver them by courier to your door. The price

for a whole lamb is £65 and a half lamb is £35, but being perfectly

honest you are better buying a whole lamb. For every lamb sold a

donation is given to the ARC-Addington Fund which has helped so many

families in the F & M crisis with emergency financial aid.

The telephone number for orders is:- 0870 2410153.

Even if this does not interest any of you here, please take a note of

the phone number and pass it on to everyone you know. Please try and

help, these lambs are coming from Hill Farms with no other income, they

can't even market their Ewe Lambs this year, these people are really

desperate. It is not very often that you will here a farmer asking for

help, but in this instance, I am making a stand and trying to help these

people, I know what it is like I was raised on a hill farm. In 1987 my

dad was getting more for his Blackface Lambs than farmers are now.

It is delivered cut into the various cuts of meat, i.e. chops, loin

chops, leg roasts, shoulder roasts, giggot chops and there is some lamb

mince as well. It is already for the freezer, now these folk are luckier

than me I get it cut into the various bits and then bag and freeze it,

did a heifer last year for the freezer and it took us nearly 5 hours!!
