Can you guys tell me what you do for the roast from butchering? ie cut neck off, cut out esophagus, remove spine? do you tie the roast?
I carefully de-bone the neck meat right off the carcass while butchering the rest of the animal. It takes time, but you end up with one continuous piece, like a very wide, short, lumpy scarf.
I then roll it and tie it up with butcher's twine. Often, I stuff/dress it before doing so.
Windpipe is long gone before the carcass hits my table for butchering.
