RE: Rendering Tallow from Sheep Fat for Sustainable Cooking Fat, Candles, Soap Leather Conditioning and More!
Nice!
You know, it hadnt even occurred to me that you could make tallow from sheep fat. I am familiar with lard and tallow from cows, but the thought hadnt even crossed my mind...
Do you find it as good to cook with? I bet it would make awesome lotion...
So far I have enjoyed cooking with it, but I have not used it extensively. I like that it is mild in flavor/odor. I'll have to report back once I've had more chance to cook with it in different dishes.
Sounds great!
We are thinking about possibly raising a sheep or two for meat in the near future, and I am glad to hear we can use the fat like this! :D
You're so nice for commenting on this post. For that, I gave you a vote!
Thanks!
Cool! Yeah like I said the lambs don't have too much fat, but you can get a little. A yearling or older would likely have quite a bit more fat. Maybe two sheep would be better than one since they like company :)
That makes sense! We were thinking about butchering at about a year so hopefully it would have a decent amount by then, but if not, oh well, haha.
Don't worry, I know how herd animals are. I will not sell single goats for that reason. If we got one sheep, it would be with the goats, but we would probably get two. :)
Oh gotcha! I should have known you were already on top of it with your happy herd :) Good luck with the new sheep venture!
Haha thanks! 😁
