Hello.
Would anyone be willing to share there true costings for keeping a ewe for a year? We are considering putting on a ewe flock and are just working through numbers at the moment to see if it’s a viable enterprise.
We are thinking -
500 Blackface ewes/blueface leister rams
Lambing outside April
Ewe lambs sold for breeding
Wether lambs finished on kale feb onwards
Ground is all owned no renting.
Any costing would be much appreciated. Many thanks.
