I'm not sure if this means they're definitely killing the lambs or not. Like on the one hand you I've never heard of someone making burgers out of adult sheep because mutton is too tough and basically needs to be made into a stew or curry (or otherwise slow cooked), but on the other hand their approach to cooking means they might have sat around chewing on their tough incredibly gamey burgers for half an hour while Penny pretended he actually liked them better than normal burgers. I guess if it's minced it might be less tough.They did make sheep "burgers" a while back that their caption said were "grown on the [t]ranch". I didn't screenshot it because it was gross and I'm generally not a gross food poster, mushroom Mac N cheese aside. So they're eating the sheep for sure, although who knows if they're doing the slaughtering and dressing. I'm gonna guess no.
The idea they're no kill but are eating dead livestock is a bit alarming - I thought the recieved wisdom was not to eat animals if you don't know what they died of, in case they're diseased. Although I suppose "starved to death" or "mortally wounded by an aggressive alpaca" would be fairly self explanatory.
I couldn't find the burgers but Penny did cook some lamb shoulder steaks for dinner last night. No word on if they're Tranch raised or not. He has of course overcrowded the pan horribly (and covered them in minced garlic, which would burn if added at the start) but at least there's some vegetables and the mashed potato looks OK.
