Scottish Blackface Lamb
Most lamb is now sold out fro Easter but we do have diced and lean mince on the pick and mix page.
The Breed The Scottish Blackface is one of Scotland’s oldest breeds of sheep. Over the centuries it has adapted to a self-sufficient life in hefted flocks on the hill. The wool is used to make hard wearing tweeds. They lead a natural healthy life in fantastic Scottish scenery. Read more about our blackface lamb.
Natural Cycle
Our ewes lamb in late April and early May out on the hill. The ewes and lambs remain there until the last week of August enjoying the diverse moorland vegetation of heather, blaeberries, mosses and grasses. By this stage the best lambs will 
have reached a carcass weight of 16-18 kg and are ideal for the table.
The lambs that are not up to weight at this stage go down onto lowland grass pastures. The best of these are then selected for despatch each month until March.
Our next delivery of lamb is 27th August 2009.

Customer comments
Tonight we had a half leg of your quality lamb, incised with rosemary, garlic and covered in salt, pepper, olive oil(because it is so lean) and mixed spice, oh what heaven. The lamb cooked at 180c middle shelf for 1hr 10 mins (it weighed in at 1kg) pink in the middle and melt in your mouth. No supermarket stuff comes anywhere near this flavour and quality. I know as an ex Savoy Hotel chef. Thanks for your taste exciters. AF Oct 2009
