About Saltbush Billy Mutton

Most people think of mutton as a cheap, low-quality by-product of the wool industry. Something like a six-year-old-plus, cast-for-age Merino wether — or perhaps a broken-mouthed old ewe from the back of Hay with five lambs and four droughts behind her.

Saltbush Billy mutton is actually a premium product — in some ways closer to beef than the very “lamby” flavour of supermarket suckers.

Usually our premium mutton is either:

a) A two-year-old, four-tooth wether that escaped being mustered as a two-tooth hogget by hiding in the saltbush; or

b) A four-tooth or six-tooth, two-to-three-year-old ewe in absolute prime condition, but culled because she didn't successfully fall pregnant and raise a lamb.

Choose from any two of our Classic, More Chops, Steaks & Cutlets, or Rack ’n’ Roll Roasts side cut packs.

No payment is required when you order. We will send your invoice once the carcass weight is confirmed.
