Yes definitely. Had dad on the phone and he said lighter lambs were definitely back but heavies still good to sell and the best export type still flying.

Ewes have had a sh!t winter, especially from mid January when they were getting heavier in lamb. It’s all caught up with a few of them now.
It's been a tough winter on ewes. Mine have melted since lambing. Everything out is being fed - even singles. Twins on nearly a kilo a day. Ground is unbelievably wet. Heavy rain again tomorrow. Someone on here said their ewe mortality was less than 1% for the year to date and that they were unhappy with that. I managed 3% loss over 3 weeks
Same here, let nothing out for 5 days yet warmer box full tonight and a couple didn't make it. Been a hell of a day.That’s what’s getting to me. Haven’t put anything out since 29th of march but have had to bring a few back in to either save lambs or mother new lambs on. If it would just square up a bit it would give lease lambs a bloody chance! Just a waste but there’s nothing you can do

Classier up here: got 3 pair of swans in a silage field. They've had 100mm on their backs in April.
Should I ring Charlie to come and get them?
