[QUOTE="Mc115reed, post: 6492862, member: 61280"] Sounds too me like your not a sheep man your an arable farmer that’s seen other arable farmers making a bit of cash at the job and want in on it.... my advice would be plant stubble turnips and sell them too a big time sheep farmer local and keep a very beady eye on him and what he does and have a go next year.... Imo store lambs is a numbers game... you need atleast 1k of them to make any sort of money or it ain’t worth the stress or work involved... store men only make at very most £10 a life on a lamb by the time they’ve had a few die and treated them for various other things which they try to die from, your fence energisers get stole/break, caught them a few times, weighed them, took them too market etc... Don’t be lead too think your gonna plant a 100 acre field of turnips, go market and buy 1000 lambs at £40 a life and drop them on your turnips, pick them up in January and take them market and get £100 a life [/QUOTE]
