Why is "lard obviously out"?

You're right, I would have real problems finding sheep tail fat. It is rather difficult to find lamb here and when you can it is rather expensive.

If I have to make a substitute because something is unavailable, that I will do. I'm less likely to be concerned about some past or current food restriction that doesn't apply to me. If lard is the best substitute than I would use that.
