Hogget is a sheep in its second spring or summer and the Manx Loaghtan sheep are ideal for raising as hogget. This primitive breed originates from the Isle of Man and is considered to be at risk of extinction by the Rare Breeds Survival Trust. Taking 12-18 months to fully mature, the meat from these sheep is rich and lean and the small ewes are well suited to the rougher pastures at Fowlescombe Farm, from where they come.
The desirable eating qualities of Manx must be considered similar to that of beef. In the same way that growing beef for quality is a minimum of two years in the making, the Manx sheep benefit from a minimum of a year. At a year and above all the genetic qualities in the meat start to appear, with intra-muscular marbling and protein density providing length and depth of flavour. In most other lamb, tenderness is favoured above flavour. With the Manx you get both by the shovel load. When finished on a mix crop of herbaceous pasture, Manx Loughton will give you a new Lamb eating experience.
We recommend searing your rump fat side down in a pan to render and crisp the fat, then brown the meat on all sides before putting the piece in a medium oven for 15-20 minutes. Take it out, let it rest, slice and season simply with salt and pepper to let the natural flavours shine, or serve with a homemade mint sauce.
