I offered him money he said dont be daft and told me to pop back next week ;D

just drove past my normal butcher, popped in on the off chance and he cut one huge shoulder(I think) in half, charged me a £1 ::) oh well they got a couple each to keep them going over the weekend 🙂

Sue it’s a shame I’m not seeing you this weekend!  I could have brought you a whole bag of bones up! ::)  Will remember next time ;D  just been to mine today and had a bin liner full of lamb ribcages, chicken wings and carcassess as well as loads of what I call ‘Honey bones’ 😀

Suz, don’t go to the butchers next week! I have a carrier bag FULL of Honey bones so you’d better have room in your freezer!!

Can I ask, are the lamb’s spine ok for them to eat, have a few in my freezer and never been sure to give them to them :-\  would that include as a meal’s worth rather than a chewy bone?

That’d be great Lisa, not sure when I’ll next see you prob wont be till 6th April, but I’ll let you know if beforehand :-*

Izzy gets lamb spine bits, they only take a few crunches and they’re gone!

[Lisa33]

6th April!! thats ages away!! 😮  Will have to come and see you before then!! ;D

Oh thats good then!  mine get a whole spine! it’s massive!!  they could probably have it as a meal it’s so big! ;D

[kizkiznobite]

;D when i said yesterday the boned out pork and lamb – that’s what i meant the whole rib section and back bone  🙂

[Lisa33]

ahhh I see!! they can have that for breakfast on Sunday then! ;D

[Foxisle_crazy]

Thats mainly what they sell at morrisons, i’ve got a freezer full of bones.  I’ve got a bit of an obsession!  My OH always exclaims ‘more bones!’ but i said he wouldnt complain if it was a big bag of balls!!  ::) 

[Gracie]

I have some nice little soft lamb ribs for a puppy  😉

The shoulder blades, have lots of them would they be ok for a brekkie? am thinking not enought meat/fat on them?

I think we should post pics of all the diff bones we have, and Bev Val etc can tell us what bone and what animal  ;D >:D

[Anonymous]

Blimey, now I wouldnt mind paying a £1 for that lot!

[Lisa33]

Oh 🙁  Have just bagged all mine up now! ::)  should have done a piccie first!!  I had around twice that today from the butcher!  Usually get that a week, which is why I always have plenty to give put to others!!

Suz, thats about how much I have in little bones for Honey to give to you!! 😀

[SuzAndTheDiva]

ok lisa will avoid the butchers until i have used what you have for me – pop them up when you have time  😉

gracie honey would love those bones – she likes them sort for breakfast  ;D

My butcher in Lancashire does 13.62 Kg / 30lb from £5 – £8 for the following:

Frozen Beef Tripe Mince
Frozen Chicken Mince
Frozen Lamb Mince
Frozen Beef & Tripe Mince
Frozen Beef Mince

I buy the frozen mince beef which I use in their home cooked diet, as I don’t give mine bones I have never asked what they do with them.
