I can't speak of the ones Jerry bought but the one's I saw that came down on the decker would not have finished in 5 weeks. ( but were loverly lambs).

 

[Shebb90]

Not that I have seen any sold but from what I read/ hear I would guess 5 week lambs would start with a 8 ?

i would have said early to mid £70s , allowing for trade dropping with weaning glut next month . Though richi's budget giving everyone half price restaurant meals upto a tenner a head next month wont do any harm to all trade for next few weeks .

That depends on what weight you sell your lambs at I guess ..I’d be aiming for 0.4kg a day (on corn) so in 5 weeks a 25kg lamb would be 39kg which I personally think is where the best value is and on today’s average of £2.30 would give £90 return...

I was reading something bout this........ So if I order a meal for me and price was £12 would I only pay £2 or is not like this?

not quite half price upto £10 voucher per head , obvs restaurants will up all their prices anyway

Thought it was 50% up to a max of £10 per person.

So just for shake of argument a £10 meal would be say roughly £6 but a £30 would be £20 just has a example. And is this something they are talking about or doing it?

Often wondered who got the good thriving lambs ?200g a day on grass 10 weeks keep sold fat in the October glut 165ppk x 40 kg = £66 - stoppages no wonder I’m still poor ?
