Gwyn, you are truly fortunate to have a butcher. They are , sadly, disappearing. I agree that knowing a butcher, a seafood seller, a baker, a greengrocer raises the quality of life ( and is so much fun). That's one thing I envy the Europeans for, their wonderful markets and living life at a pace to enjoy the best things in life rather than to aquire more and more stuff/
When I was in college ( it was a concrete urban campus ), There was a buther shop nearby. I and my roomies would go there to shop when we could afford it. The kindly butchers there took pity on us poor and hungry lads and not only suggested recipes and methods of cooking the cheaper cuts, but often would throw in free treats like cubed, seasoned breakfast steaks. I'll never forget those guys.
Yum, I'm a lamb lover too. I make a killer moussaka and will take a lamburger over beef anytime. I also love Greek food, they use lamb a lot.
I volunteer to help dig a pit for the pig roast and to help cook. Nothing finer than a properly roasted piggy and a fine group of friends to pig out with.
P.S. Cali, is it too late to do the catering ? I know how much work it is , but, it can be very rewarding and lucrative, and especially fun to soak the rich. It seems that ,if you live in an area with enough population ( and folks with $$), there are never enough caterers and the good ones can pretty much name their price.
