Beef for us has to be grass fed, and even then well trimmed before cooking. No fat left on the steaks.
Sheep meat is usually too fatty, but the older animals definitely taste better. So we very rarely have chops. Can't beat a slow leg roast with mint jelly.
Pork is by far the cheapest, often the best bet for fat. Get the crackling right, lift it off the roast, trim the fat layer and then carve the meat.

As for the pricing of meat, for tray-pack quantities, we see supermarkets as very expensive with town butchers nearly as bad. Much better to buy a side in toto from a country butcher, and have it cut for you.
Trouble is these days with only two of us at home now and much more fish and poultry on the menu, it takes forever to get through a side of beef.

I wish the farmers would produce "lean" lambs - we could eat the product then.
Nearly all sausages contain too much fat. (The taste bit does not come into it at all for us, they have to be lean).

Absolutely no offence intended, but you could give up eating meat altogether and live twice as long.

I have no scientific evidence for this but from what i've read it'll feel like it.

Some might say it would be an eternity.

They do, They are called Goats

On a side note.
Super lean sheep are usually ill or malnourished and they are most likely to be as tough as an old boot.
Everyone knows that the fatty part of the lamb/hoggett/mutton chops is the BEST part anyway

Many years ago read a biography of a bloke who ended up as the head of the RAAF. Came from a sheep station and left home with only one objective in life. Never to eat mutton again

British farmers are saying they will be out of business due to the trade deal allowing in higher quality and cheaper meat from Australia. Seems this is unfair competition

Is difficult to find a decent steak over here as most is from dairy breeds not beef. Was in Manchester a while ago and had a steak on recommendation of the client. Was very good and said so to the owner when paying. He was pleased as turns out only uses Australian beef as cannot find good quality local product on a regular basis

Around here all the Sheep are Salt Bush fed.

Mmmm tasty!
