However, to return to my muttons, we have vast chunks of a megalithic government department looking at anti-competitive practices in the private sector.
The causes are many, including a reduction in demand for mutton, lamb and goatmeat, partly due to the large-scale import of meat from third countries.
The main reason behind this ability to sell sheep meat year round, is due to the different systems of production on the farm, and the revival of mutton.
Among these, flour, rice, cooking oil, mutton, olive oil, and honey provided the most reliable long-term series and carried the highest weights in our food budget.
Further away, where land values are lower, they have larger farms producing cash crops, such as wheat, barley and sugarbeet, and livestock products, such as milk, beef, mutton and wool.
The marketing strategies used by the farm are an important tool in aiding the sale of otherwise unusual meat, such as the mutton and young ram meat.
The mutton market is a newly created market.
None of these artists enjoy a hearth, or leg of mutton, of one's own.
