lol got my early lambers back off grass keep today with their lambs , looks like they have been on roots , legs and britches are filthy , normally come back glowing
We are bring hoggs back off grass keep at the moment at work, every one is having to be bellied and crutched before they are killed even the ones shorn in September. they look as through they have come off fodder beet not dairy grass.
I was quoted £5.20 for Dunbia Wales but not sure if they’re usually a bit behind? Can hardly complain to them at >£5 surely?

There are various standards to trimming & butchering at abattoirs, so 5.20 might be good at one, 5.50 may not be enough at another.

But what you dont want are various prices to different customers at the same abbatoir which is what i am wondering here!

I havent ever grazed this radish / mustard type stuff , but will hogs fatten on it or just live on it , seem to remember being told it's bitter compared to turnips ?[Qhaven't spin cycle, post: 6791136, member: 12281"]
Dunnolooks like poor mustard TBH

I've been told ewes do on it, but I don't think they can fatten lambs on it, I think they're restricted by having something far enough away from rape.

I've found that little SBF lambs do famous on it. Grew like mushrooms, but as they got halfway through it I dropped the hoppers in too make sure they kept going without a transition period when it ran out.
