Update on the triplets: they're chillin.

Although the smallest one has been benefiting from a bottle of milk supplemented here and there.

1- Bambi's Bambi had more bambi's
2- the sweet smell of blooming locust wafting over the pasture is a bit of heaven
3- for some reason Frumpy decided to have her triplets on the edge. Must've been the trick though, cuz it's the first set of surviving triplets so far. Surviving being the key work here...

I gave Jonah the breeding ram's ground mutton a try for sup yesterday.

Yeah, you read that right..........

I took him to the butcher since his two-year breeding job had come to its end. It was definitely with mixed emotions as I loaded him up on the trailer for the worst day of his life.

And it felt a little odd dumping a pound of him into the dutch oven and cooking him up.

But I view it as him fulfilling the purpose God gave him.

Anyway.

The recipe I used was sent to me by my lamb meat customer and friend, Sherry.

I was more than a little dubious of the mix of spices it called for and then to top it off, the fact I was using meat from my breeding ram.

But lo and behold, it all turned out vedy vedy delicious......

So, thanks Sherry!

And I dare ya to give it a try for yourself. Just dm me or drop a comment and I'll get it to you ASAP :)

ps: I may put together a box or two or three of Jonah's mutton meat for a select few of you guys to try. If you're interested, just let me know!

pps: like I really didn't know what to expect, I figured his meat would be a strong, gamey flavor and tough. but I'd venture to say I wouldn't've known the difference whether I was eating lamb or mutton... I'll have to test some of his other cuts and see if there's any major differences.
