Rant: Guy at the farmers market told me I was wasting my time breaking down whole lambs

Last Saturday at the Union Square market in NYC, some guy watches me break down a whole lamb and goes "you know you can just buy pre-cut leg racks for less." I asked him how long he's been cutting and he said he worked at a grocery store for 2 years. Told him I've been doing this for 12 years and the money is in the whole animal if you know what you're doing. Has anyone else dealt with customers or random people telling you how to do your job?

Oh man, preach. Whole animal is where the real skill and savings are at.

But isn't it way more expensive than just buying cuts and actually harder to get right?
