No black grass up here.tbf it does also say gfw as well.my guess would be the arable farm is looking too untilize the benefits of sheep while using grass as a break crop too combat blackgrass so not too fussed about making money just it wiping its own arse... although I’d of thought needs too be 600+ too pay a mans wage full time and then he’d still have plenty time on his hands too help on tractors if needs be.... share farming opportunity would be more appropriate in my eyes for such scenarios because the farm gets the benefit of the sheep... a slight income stream and some control... without the drama and hassle and the shepherd has some motivation because he owns part of the pie
It all depends on which market you use and the luck on the day. I’ve seen plenty of tup lambs up north make just as much as the wethers (always better in bigger bunches so the buyer can start a tup pen off) if you do them well and use a mart with a good store market you will take no harm. Castrated will sell better on the whole though, not quite as targeted.A question that will make a lot of you lot laugh but to make a store lamb does it have to be castrated? We have a few (120) males here that are fattening ok just on grass but just wondering if they could become store lambs?
Larry is always happyMy thoughts are £92 was my average last year... if I clear that I’m happy as Larry ... so far this year I’m averaging £127 across this years lamb crop....
