Hi everyone
Just interested to see but I have started to wean lambs and they are all 12-14 weeks of age.
What weight should they be at that age on average?
3 batches:
1 batch averaging 35.5kg
1 batch averaging 31.6kg
And the last batch averaging 27.5kg albeit this batch are not even 12-14 weeks yet as they were later to lamb by a few weeks.
I’m happy with the average weights but there are a good few in and around 26-34kg and below the average of the overall flock. I know there is always going to be those less than the average but there is just a few more in this bracket than I would like but maybe I’m being hard on them and they are averaging what the majority of lambs are at 12-14 weeks?
I suppose everyone always wants their lambs to be that bit heavier!
