When you say flock ages. Roughly what would the spilt be? More older ewes I guess.

Theres 300 in the bunch so an even split could be had, or uneven with price negotiation.

What would you likely want if it was a 100 fulls and maybe brokers? Pm if you’d rather, up to you.

I would if I had some money, I've not been to market but daughter sold some 6 and 7 year olds which she'd lost the lambs off at £137 apiece and last years cades made £124 apiece, just makes those ewes look very cheap.

Fair enough, I was going by trade at Sedgemoor where I'd seen big in lamb mules top at around £135. (Bigger than my ewes). Obviously I have no commission or haulage. Perhaps I have undersold a little - we'll see if I'm inundated with enquiries ?
