So how old is NZ lamb when its killed?
Lamb is traditionally eaten at Easter in the NH, which means they are barely a couple of months old.

Much of the lamb in Europe would be called hogget in New Zealand. Sheep born in a particular calendar year and slaughtered before 30 June the following year is classified as lamb, so it can be 18 months old rather than 12.

Funny I remember doing pricing stuff at college and how prices for lambs are highest at Easter and drop off after that.
Also remember doing lambing duty in Jan and that was 35 years ago.
PS, Go to Greece and not have lamb for Easter.

There’s nothing more tedious than parochialism about cuisine. It’s surely appropriate to argue over battles fought, sports contests waged between nations etc. But arguing about food? Very gay, and not in the good homosexual preference and practices way.

You can have spring Lamb at easter - but those lambs would have been born in December/Jan - so would be about 4 months old. However far more likely to be last year's lamb flushed on some spring grass.Glaston wrote:Thought you were a farmer?Willie Falloon wrote:most UK lambs arent born until easter(Early April).

No - some farms sponge their sheep to have lambs in Dec/Jan - so they can sell as spring lamb in April & get those high prices.

Sorry, yeah, that can be done as well, it's an exception as you say and I think you can only use the term 'spring lamb' in those circumstances. But EU regs say it can be sold as lamb if it meets the description I've posted as well.P in VG wrote:No - some farms sponge their sheep to have lambs in Dec/Jan - so they can sell as spring lamb in April & get those high prices.

Lamb here is killed mainly for Lechal (milk lamb) and usually 20-30 days old. To be considered milk lamb it must be under 45 days old.

Stop talking rot Willie. It can be very area specific.
As an example, Wicklow spring lambs are generally available shortly after St.Patricks Day, while some of the best Connemara lamb would be prime around June/July

The Aussies are slightly concerning. They keep putting the things on their money, they talk about riding "on the sheep's back", and then they make sexual jokes about sheep and New Zealanders, which is just classic deflection.Fat Old Git wrote:Should I be concerned about how many of you don't seem to be able to think about sheep without a sexual context being foremost in your mind?

We might have more sheep per capita then them but we don't have a national song about a man hanging out with a sheep, nor do we have a song about tying kangaroos down.
