I really need to try lamb again. Last I had was 40 years ago. My Step-Dad and I had sheep to eat the pastures on our farms. He had one of his butchered and gave us some ground meat. Have no idea on age of the animal.
Probably my mistake cooking. I formed the meat into burgers and fried in a hot skillet like a hamburger. Stunk up the entire house like sheep wool. I was young and stupid at the time. I'm sure it's good if cooked properly. Fed it to my German Shepard.
Afterwards, I read lamb should be cooked at a low temperature. I did the opposite! We slow smoked a couple goats a few years later and they were great.
The old man got into goats heavily after that and kept quite busy. His farm was about an hour drive east of Omaha, NE. down I-80.
People born south of the border would come from the city and buy goats. They loved goats for their celebrations. He is 94 now and sold the farms. Most of those folks had no butchering skills.
Little Brother would kill the goat and gut it out if asked. Skin and quarter it for a bit more. He made some good $ on weekends. He was raised up deer hunting in IA, so he had the skills.
I need to try lamb after all these years. (from a place that can cook it properly) Sure I would like it, but no local places in my small town offer the meat. I grew up eating squirrels, rabbits, frog legs, etc. so no big deal.
