Easier to finish they may be but the colours are hopelessThat certainly seems to be a problem with the crossing type BFL. Mule lambs out of traditional type BFL are easier to finish IME.

Well done! Happy days with that! Have you sold the gimmers too or are they for your own use?Sold my last one prime this week 34kg pet/Cade at just short £100, averaged over £100 a head for the wethers this time
If you want to fatten lambs on minimal feed if any you won’t beat a Romney , and cake over £300 ton they are a very attractive option , just got some in this morning fat as butter and nothing but grass and up here .
The buyers are no fools they know whose lambs have been
killing out best.They will probably be seen putting their hands
on sheep from vendors who are less regular at market ,or sell
pens which visibly look uneven.
They know they have the drovers keeping them in the loopI can’t see how, apart from a very few pens, the buyers in a mart the size of Welshpool can know who’s lambs are who’s.
Some vendors will be there but most are just stood somewhere nearby to get their prices. Very few are stood in the pens with the lambs.
Do they sell them in the pens? No board to say who the vendor is?I can’t see how, apart from a very few pens, the buyers in a mart the size of Welshpool can know who’s lambs are who’s.
