$6.99 a pound. Mine was almost 2 lbs. My town here in Texas, at one time was the sheep capital of the world, not anymore, but they mostly used them for the wool. There’s pictures and statues of sheep all over.
My grandmother (in California) raised sheep and had a Vinyard. I remember her coming over with a cute lamb, and telling me we would eat it on Sunday. I never thought anything about it, just a fact of life.
Our shanks up here are at about $10.00 a pound. The lamb ribs, either cut into lollipop chops or a roast....$30 a pound. If we didn’t have a bunch of shanks and chops out in the pastures, we’d sure as heck not be eating lamb! And I love lamb, except Australian lamb. It is truly horrible. If I hear someone say they tried lamb once and thought it was awful, I assume they got some Australian lamb.
