Going off the experience we had when we went organic in 2000, the farm had 900 ewes and around 140 ewe lambs the next year 850, the year after 800 then went to 600 ewes for 4-5 years then crept back up by 30-40 ewes a year. Currently at 850 ewes and 220 ewe lambs plus growing double the corn and more green crop than we have had since before converting. Clover is key though!Thanks, you have helped get the point i have been trying to get across. I wonder to what point you could cut numbers using less fert to make the same overall profit, not easily done without trying it. If we all tried it then production would drop and demand /prices would rise. Unless the sods just imported more
