Researchers believe that the domestication of sheep and their special breeding began around 6000 B.C. They were very valuable animals for humans because they produced milk, meat and hides used to make clothing, bags and other things.

To prepare a leg of lamb is very simple. It can be marinated beforehand, then incisions are made, in which various spicy herbs are inserted: thyme, rosemary and others. Bake the meat for at least 120 minutes at oven temperature of 680 degrees Fahrenheit.
