All our fresh cuts are vacuum packed for extended shelf life, and customers requiring frozen beef can order with complete confidence that we only buy products that have been blast frozen at the peak of freshness.

Pork is no exception. Our priority in sourcing pork products is to choose producers with a proven record for rearing and slaughtering pigs in conditions that not only meet but exceed all international animal welfare standards. That’s why, as well as the UK, we buy from all the leading European centres including Holland, Denmark and Belgium – renowned the world over for producing lean, tender and delicious pork that can be relied on for consistent quality from the first slice to the last. Shelf life is also a particular consideration for pork products, so the relative proximity of these continental markets offers Dalziel customers the reassurance of a regular daily supply of freshly slaughtered meat on exactly the same basis as we receive supplies from selected producers here at home. Vacuum packed for the guarantee of total freshness, our comprehensive range of premium pork products includes everything a busy butcher could wish for on their counter display.

New Zealand is the natural choice for its temperate climate, superb sheep rearing grassland and, most of all, for the world leading expertise of its top brand producers. From decades of experience sourcing the vast majority of our lamb supplies from selected NZ producers, we know that nobody does it better.

  • Information on How to Buy Lamb
    LAMB Lamb is produced from animals less than a year old. Since the quality of lamb varies according to the age of the animal, it is advisable to buy lamb that has been USDA-graded. USDA Prime: Prime grade lamb is very high in tenderness, juiciness, and flavor. It has moderate marbling, which enhances both flavor and juiciness. Prime chops and roasts are excellent for dry-heat cooking (broiling and roasting). USDA Choice: Choice grade lamb has slightly less marbling than Prime, but still is of very high quality. Choice chops and roasts also are very tender, juicy, and flavorful and suited to dry-heat cooking. Lower grades of lamb and mutton (USDA Good, Utility, and Cull) are seldom marked with the grade if sold at retail. Most cuts of USDA Prime and Choice lamb - including shoulder cuts - are tender and can be oven roasted, broiled, or pan broiled. A leg of lamb graded Choice or Prime, for example, is delectable when oven roasted. The less tender cuts - the breast, riblets, neck, and shank - can be braised slowly to make excellent (and tender) lamb dishes. Meat from older sheep is called yearling mutton or mutton and, if it is graded, these words will be stamped on the meat along with the shield-shaped grade mark. Grades for yearling mutton and mutton are the same as for lamb, except that mutton does not qualify for the Prime grade and the Cull grade applies only to mutton. The best way to identify lamb cuts is with the lamb carcass chart shown above.

  • United States Standards for Grades of Lamb, Yearling Mutton, and Mutton Carcasses
    United States Department of Agriculture United States Standards Agricultural Marketing for Grades of Service Livestock Lamb, Yearling Mutton, and and Seed Division Mutton Carcasses Effective date July 6, 1992 United States Standards for Grades of Lamb, Yearling Mutton, and Mutton Carcasses The following is a reprint of the Official United States Standards for the Grades of Lamb, Yearling Mutton, and Mutton Carcasses promulgated by the Secretary of Agriculture under the Agricultural Marketing Act of 1946 (60 Stat. 1087; 7 U.S.C. 1621-1627) as amended and related authority in the annual appropriation acts for the Department of Agriculture. The standards are reprinted with amendments effective July 6, 1992. Development of the Standards The official standards for grades of lamb and mutton carcasses were initially promulgated and made effective on February 16, 1931. The standards were amended in October 1940 (Amendment No. 1 to S.R.A. 123) so as to change the grade designations Medium and common to Commercial and Utility, respectively. In April 1951, the official standards were again amended (Amendment No. 2 to S.R.A. 123). By this amendment, Prime and Choice grades were combined and designated as Prime. The Good grade was renamed Choice, which also became the highest grade for carcasses of mutton older than yearlings. The top two-thirds of the Commercial grade was combined with the top two-third of the Utility grade and designated as Utility, thereby eliminating the Commercial grade name. The lower one-third of the Utility grade was combined with the Cull grade and designated as Cull. This amendment also provided for reflecting the minimum requirements for each grade, specified the grade requirements for varying degrees of maturity, and clarified the method for differentiating between lamb, yearling mutton, and mutton carcasses.

  • Sensory Evaluation of Various Lamb Meat Foods by Judging Consumers
    KUKOVICS & NÉMETH: SENSORY EVALUATION OF LAMB MEAT FOODS BY CONSUMERS Acta Alimentaria, Vol. 43 (2), pp. 254–263 (2014) DOI: 10.1556/AAlim.43.2014.2.9 SENSORY EVALUATION OF VARIOUS LAMB MEAT FOODS BY JUDGING CONSUMERS S. KUKOVICS* and T. NÉMETH Research Institute for Animal Breeding and Nutrition, 2053 Herceghalom, Gesztenyés u. 1. Hungary (Received: 6 November 2012; accepted: 24 February 2013) Four kinds of lamb meat foods (Wiener sausage, ham, roasted meat, and roasted leg) were developed based on 8 different genotypes to improve lamb meat quality and quantity, and to study the differences among them. The stringiness, flavour, and odour of the products were judged in food sensory evaluation by a total of 265 (60% male and 40% female) randomly selected consumers. In stringiness and flavour five (from 1 to 5), and concerning odour three (from 1 to 3) categories were created according to decreasing quality. The consumers represented different age groups: below 20 years, between 21–30, 31–40, 41–50, 51–60, 61–70, and above 70 years. The groups of consumers were involved in sheep farming, other animal farming, other agriculture sector, industry, catering, education, other service; administrative department of the state, were students, and others. Analyses of variance were calculated to estimate the effects of the genotype of lamb, the gender, age, and occupation of judging consumers on the sensory evaluation of the meat foods. In conclusion, new lamb meat foods were highly appreciated by consumers, who made definite distinctions among genotypes according to flavour, stinginess, and odour. There were significant interactions between gender, age, and occupation of consumers as well as sensory evaluation of various lamb meat foods.

  • Import Demand for Goat Meat, Sheep and Lamb, and Other Lesser
    IMPORT DEMAND FOR GOAT MEAT, SHEEP AND LAMB, AND OTHER LESSER MEAT BY THE UNITED STATES by DORIS NEKESA SANDE (Under the Direction of Jack E. Houston) ABSTRACT American diets, especially meat consumption, have changed dramatically over the past decade. There has been a shift away from red meats towards white meats. These changes are not in isolation; they seem to be in line with dietary changes worldwide. Changes in consumption patterns in the United States have mainly been prompted by the current wave of population diversity, as well as the health consciousness of the American population. These factors have created a favorable environment for goat meat. This thesis investigates the import demand elasticity for goat meat, along with sheep and lamb, and other lesser meats as a system of minor meats. Due to lack of local production data on goat meat, import data was utilized to determine the import demand. The Generalized Composite Commodity Theorem was employed to test for separability of imports from local production. It was determined that import demand for goat meat and sheep and lamb are both price inelastic and luxury goods, which implies that import demand does not vary much with changes in import prices.

  • MEAT and MEAT PRODUCTS Mr Staneley
    MEAT AND MEAT PRODUCTS Mr Staneley Meat is probably our most important food, accounting to a major share of our total expenditure on foods. Cattle, sheep, and pigs are reared for fresh meat and certain pigs are specifically produced for bacon. The animals are humanely killed and the meat prepared in hygienic conditions. The skins or hides are removed, the innards are taken out of the carcass and the offal put aside. Carcass of beef is split into two sides and those of lambs, sheep, pigs and calves are left whole. They are then chilled in a cold room and therefore being sent to the market. To cook meat properly it is necessary to know and understand the structure of meat. Lean flesh is composed of muscles which are numerous bundles of fibres held together by connective tissues. The sizes of these fibres are extremely small, especially in tender cuts or cuts from young animals. Only the coarsest fibres may be distinguished by the naked eyes. The size of the fibres varies in length, depth and thickness and this variation will affect the grain and the texture of the meat CHOOSING MEAT -Buy meat from clean, well ventilated shops -choose the cut of meat suitable for the method of cooking which is to be used -the grain should appear fine and even -the colour should be good for the type of meat a) beef-bright red lean finely grained and white fat b) mutton/lamb-light red, lean and hard and white fat c) Veal –pale pink lean and little white fat -there should be no unpleasant odour.

  • Grilled Shish Kabobs (Weight Watchers) Serves 4 30-Minute
    Do you know the difference between lamb and mutton? “Lamb” is meat from sheep that are younger than one year old and “mutton” is meat from sheep one year old and older. Lamb has a milder flavor and is more tender than mutton. The color of the meat is a good indicator of age with the lighter the color the younger the meat. Tenderness should always be considered when deciding what cut of lamb to cook because tender cuts (loin, rib and leg) require fast cooking over moderate – high heat while less tender cuts (shoulder, breast, shank and neck) are best prepared by braising and stewing. Grilled Shish Kabobs (Weight Watchers) Serves 4 15 oz. boneless lean leg of lamb; cut into 1-in. cubes 2 cups whole medium mushrooms; woody ends 1 Tbsp plus 1 tsp olive oil trimmed 1 Tbsp fresh lemon juice 1 medium red or yellow bell pepper; cut into 1-in. 4 garlic cloves; crushed squares ½ tsp freshly ground black pepper 4 small plum tomatoes ½ tsp dried oregano ½ tsp salt Pinch cinnamon 1 lemon; cut into wedges 2 cups pearl onions To prepare marinade, in a gallon-size resealable plastic bag, combine oil, juice, garlic, black pepper, oregano, and cinnamon; add lamb. Seal bag, squeezing out air; turn to coat lamb. Refrigerate 2 hours or overnight, turning bag occasionally. Spray rack in broiler pan with nonstick cooking spray and pre-heat broiler, or preheat outdoor barbeque grill according to manufacturer’s directions. Add onions, mushrooms, bell pepper, and tomatoes to lamb mixture; turn to coat.

  • Physical and Sensory Properties of Jerky Made from Lamb, Mutton and Beef
    PHYSICAL AND SENSORY PROPERTIES OF JERKY MADE FROM LAMB, MUTTON AND BEEF D.S. Sutton 1, L.W. Hand2, G.Q. Fitch2 Story in Brief Jerky was prepared from lamb, mutton and beef using the same formulation and thermal processing schedules. Semimembranosus and adductor muscles for each treatment were crust frozen, sliced, marinated and thermally processed. Sensory evaluation was accomplished by using three groups of consumers. The first group of panelists (n=45) were familiar with the flavor of lamb and mutton, the second group (n=75) was not characterized and the third group (n=23) was given a questionnaire to classify themselves into groups that either liked or disliked like lamb and mutton products. Regardless of the consumer group, there were no significant differences in sensory attributes between lamb, mutton or beef jerky. (Key Words: Sensory Analysis, Lamb, Mutton, Jerky.) Introduction The per capita consumption of lamb decreased 64 % from 1966 to 1983 (USDA, 1967; Field et al., 1983). This led the American Sheep Industry Association to list the development of new lamb products as one of their highest priority needs (SID, 1988) Several reasons have been suggested for this downward trend in lamb and mutton consumption. Batcher et al. (1962) concluded that flavor was the most important palatability characteristic of cooked lamb. Others listed price, product availability, texture, color, mouth feel and aroma as possible causes for the decrease in lamb consumption (Wasserman and Talley, 1968; Crouse, 1983). Brewer et. al (1984) suggested that processors may need to take on new market areas and develop new products to combat the decrease in lamb and mutton consumption.
