Just realized my old mentor was right about breaking down whole lambs
I was chatting with my old mentor Dave last weekend at a shop in Portland, and he said I was wasting too much time on perfectly trimmed cuts when customers just want the meat. He told me "stop chasing the Instagram butcher look and sell the whole damn thing." Has anyone else had a boss or mentor say something that completely changed how you work without you realizing it till later?

Read an article last month about a butcher in Texas who switched to whole animal breakdown and doubled his profit margin. The idea of using every part instead of chasing the perfect loin cut makes a lot of sense for reducing waste and keeping prices fair. Sometimes the simple approach really is the best way to go.
