Sheep and Meat Goat Q/A (still like some advice on sweet SI issue)

[Rage Against the McKee]

If you talk to one of the farmers, you can probably just purchase a sheep and then take it to a butcher.

i'd like to do this without talking to any farmers, if possible.

It's not possible. You're already talking to RickRampus.

go with the shoulder and neck, they will have a higher fat content to so you will get more flavor. we've sold lambs on craigslist before for this kind of situation, if I were you I'd buy one and have it processed the way you want it so if you want the entire carcass grinded you can.  remember to only use lamb, not mutton.

ok, good tip.  so i place my lamb necks wanted advert on craigslist and wait for the offers to roll in?  i feel like we're finally getting somewhere.

suffolks are my 2nd favorite breed, usually my favorite lambs are hamp x suffolk cross because they produce the best show lambs

I hate hair sheep, dorpers are weird and crazy

well i had some stupid blackfaced meat sheep bastard ram the eff out of me when my back was turned.  for all i know it was a hamp x suffolk show lamb, so forgive me if i don't automatically agree that dorpers are weird and crazy.  that's rough ridin' racist anyways.

i'll message board or email farmers all day long, but i don't want to talk to them.

K-State doesn't have an extension office in Fresno, as far as I know.  Maybe you could contact the meatgoat facility in Manhattan for pro tips (advice, not sheep tips).

Time for a K-State - Fresno campus

that guy is awful proud of his lamb.  $300, gmafb.  like i give a crap how easy it is to walk up on.  i'll walk up on any sheep i want to and there isn't a goddamn thing they can do about it.

[sys]

now we're talking.  i'll eat the crap out of that 6 month dorper ram lamb if he's the meaty looking devil in photo one.

RickFanning - I build frames, but I think I read on here somewhere around the time beastiality was brought up, that you are in CA, so I probably can't help you get this one framed, but I do have a suggestion as to how you should do it...

Looking here (http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/vault/edb/reader.html?magID=SI&issueDate=19890904&mode=reader_vault) it looks like the article takes 6 pages...I would cut that bitch up, and make a large frame with a double matt (purple velour on top, and black or silver on bottom) with each page cut out...Probably aligned vertically, with 2 page spreads (so the frame, after matting would be approx 24" wide & 40" tall)...if you wanted to add the cover to it, you may want to think about getting an 8.5"x11" of LHCBS signed (maybe a pic of young Bill, from the intro presser or something) and having the article in 2 rows of four pages, with the Cover, signed LHCBS & opening FUTILITY U (I'd put the cover in top left, LHCBS in top right & FUTILITY U in the middle) making the top row and the 4 pages of the actual article making the bottom row...would be approx 40# wide & 24" tall, depending on how much mat you'd want between pages...if you go over 40" in any direction the costs will probably just about double as you'll have to find oversized mat board.

Think like this, but in a much larger frame with purple velour matting, and without the crazy bitch holding something about sheep.



As to the signature (assuming you want the SI signed, & not a pic), I'd get LHCBS to sign the opening 2-page spread with the "Futulity U" in big letters.

Pretty bad ass project you've got on your hands...I may have to copy your idea

[RickRampus]

No im in ks, sys is the cali kid, like the idea, pm sent

Sys - dorper is a good breed but idk about it still being a ram and how it would taste, their muscle development is different because they have a lot of testosterone going.

How often do goats get drunk?

ok, ok what I meant by the cuts thing is, if you are just grinding it, don't use the prime(expensive) cuts, go with the shoulder and neck, they will have a higher fat content to so you will get more flavor. we've sold lambs on craigslist before for this kind of situation, if I were you I'd buy one and have it processed the way you want it so if you want the entire carcass grinded you can.  remember to only use lamb, not mutton. somebody surely has a lamb out there that can be bought.  hopefully this helps, I'm not from the area so idk where the sheep stores are, longshot but you might see if any of the colleges around you have a flock (like us)

suffolks are my 2nd favorite breed, usually my favorite lambs are hamp x suffolk cross because they produce the best show lambs

I hate hair sheep, dorpers are wierd and crazy

Ok.  As I was reading this post I became convinced that there is no way this is a fanning sock as this guy knows way too much about the topic he's posting on. 
Then I saw the word "grinded".   
Jury is still out.  Could be a Fanning sock.

Who the eff is this guy? Would you of rather i said ground?

i would not have rather.  you have to learn to let the nazis roll off your back around here.

[wetwillie]

I like this new sheep guy, but if he keeps rough ridin' up the quote function things might change

[RickRampus]

Sorry, still trying to learn, you would think being a sock and all id be more competent

lambchops are hard as hell to nail but lamb burgers are easy as crap....WHY?

[Katpappy]

OK, it is clear that you are not Sonofdaxjones, Bastard Sonofdaxjones or even sonofabitch.
Also I enjoy your sheep speak. 
Protip:  Do not speak with authority about meat goats.  Some of us are very educated about this commodity.  I myself went to many parties where we partake in cooking roasted goat.  They look a lot like a dog; so much in my day many of the gents at the party would come up with an excuse to head home.  Only to check to see if their favorite pet was alive and well.  Anyway, it was very lean and stringy.  I always drowned the meat in BarBQ sauce to make it more palpable, and it never hurt to have plenty of good brew to wash it down.
Cheers my friend.
