My ram lambs (to be sold as shearling) are certainly on poorer grass than my weaned commercial lambs. Very little grass here so got to prioritise.
Apart from my early mob, they are treated just like my commercial lambs early on, and expected to grow on the same grazed ration as them. They certainly don’t get special treatment here, my management’s not good enough for that.
same here , no different to commercials , no roots over winter either , i do get some red clover leys over winter if the frost doesnt get there first , then about 1lb of oats from june to sale on old perm pasture . But then we cant sell at Builth , bit sad really , that many commercial men cant see past the gloss , bearing in mind you have one of the top recorded flocks .
