I was thinking the same but chose to say 'good value' rather than 'too bloody cheap!'I’d agree, but suggest @pgk ‘s son does some costings, including all recording costs, ground rent, flock depreciation, etc. If he’s selling his best at that money, i’d be surprised if a well run commercial flock producing fat lambs wasn’t more profitable.
But hey, we all need a hobby and there’s worse ones to have.
Agree with you and neilo, good job he doesn't feed or loss would be massive. Hopefully as he gets rams into more flocks demand will increase as we have seen with shedders.
I agree these are the type of tups needed. We go to Malcolm Stewart's on farm sale now as we know they will live . Given up on Kelso.
Did he have a good sale?
He seemed happy. Average up £40 and full clearance.
wrong type im afraid , the northern ones look good in the ring ,lacking on the ground . still very popular down here for long blocky clean headed southdown types with shape , have sold quite a few to people (ex customers) coming back from texels and beltex crosses this year . Had a new breeder looking for a ram in scotland , so i pointed them to who i thought would have some decent types , but they were quoted best part of a grand for a ram lamb from a few breeders not very encouraging for someone with a couple of pure ewes ,
Correct, bar the minority few.
