We've talked a little bit about fat from sheep tails previously. This file in the FOOD section has some of our discussions on it:
cooking-oils-msg (78K) 6/10/07 Period cooking and food oils.

Unfortunately, I don't remember any discussions that the tail docking removed the tail fat also, but this file might have some info on possible sources. Doing a search on "tail fat" in the Florilegium does turn up a number of recipes calling specifically for that ingredient.
