Cull ewes, but I heard the breeders were a fair trade as wellBreeders?
Woodheads will be putting it up 5p week after next Id lay money on it
Yes but I wasn’t expecting them to of put it up 3p this week, I’m guessing 2p for next week to level at £3.60Today's the day we will find out
Well....Today's the day we will find out
Well....
Got some going next week so hoping they haveDunbia have quoted 3.62 next week, I've no news on woodheads but they need to go up!
You are just paying far too much for them as ewe lambsIt’s not getting any better for the gimmers then. £114 is no where near enough after you have bought them, haulage to and from market, feed, grass keep, dead stock, meds and then commission at the end!!
They could be......... On the other hand if the winter is mild,the fat lamb trade holds up,and we get some kind of deal with brexit that makes it still worthwhile for our lamb to go to France,then confidence will return and they could go through the roof.Mule ewe lambs are far to expensive, far better buying gimmer ortwo/three crop ewes , they not crazy money this year as more folk are selling ewes than buying them me thinks. I bet in the next couple of months you could buy good ewes for 80/90 pounds. I'm going to wait and buy in lamb ewes in fed/March, l bet you will be able to buy ewes with twins for 100/115 this spring.

Only buy in from flock dispersals with known vaccination status.I find the problem ones are those sold in small groups with lambs at foot in May.Or be buying in other folks problem bangers. Know what I’d rather buy in.
Iv bought aged ewes for year as longs you jag them for abortion and heptavac p , they've always gone ok , buying fancy browned faced ewe lambs for 100 a head is crazy , even if you tup them, half a yeld , any with twin can't rear them and a few might be ok. At least 2 crop ewes know what they are doing. Everyone has there own ideals.
