I can see why the Falklands sheep are cheaper. The feed only on the native grasses, even in winter. I'm not sure how much worming is done, they are basically left to run wild although some of the more enlightened farmers do rotate the grazing. They are allowed to slaughter their animals themselves. So all in all overheads are very low. |

Annoyingly, all these stupid rules and regulations are there for our own protection . Unfortunately, like all well-meaning Government initiatives, it's the little guy who takes the hit, the big companies & multinationals just get to take the p*ss. Ooh, it makes me mad. |

Manx Loaghton Sheep are quite a rare breed,they were almost extinct in the 1950's. They are a lean meat breed but they produce great tasting meat........OZ. --- End quote --- They CAN'T be Manx Oz, they have four legs :lol: I fancy some of those horns on the wall :ddb: Link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manx_Loaghtan |
