   I have some lambs i intend to slaughter in the fall. However i was wondering if i had to castrate the lambs. If i don't will there be a strange taste to the meat? I've read it either way was fine but wasn't for sure.

   If the meat tastes strange it won't be because they were not castrated.

   I was always told its better to castrate so the meat isnt as tough and the lambs are a lot calmer bacause they arent rams. I think all lamb meat tastes basically the same, castration would only make a difference if you were eating adult sheep, eg ram vs weather.
