Mail order lamb UK - try our Scottish Blackface lamb direct from the hill

The Scottish Blackface 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. Lambs lead a natural healthy life in fantastic Scottish scenery.

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 at the beginning of each month until Christmas. Buy Lamb Online.

Butchery

We use a local abbatoir to minimize stress on the animals, and our local butcher's shop cuts the lambs into traditional joints. We are happy to butcher to a customer's specification. The usual format for half a lamb is:

1 leg, 1 boned and rolled shoulder and chops vacuum packed into lots of 4 and 6, along with the shanks, flank, kidney and trim and a 500g haggis.

All lamb cuts come labelled and vacuum packed.

If you have particular specifications for the butchery of your lamb please contact us. Buy Lamb Online.

Haggis

Blackface Haggis is the traditional Scottish beastie we know and love.

He can be sliced, in a 500g or 3kg ceremonial natural skin. Buy Scottish Haggis.
