As long as they are heathy lambs I would think you have a good chance of making money on them.
I always keep a small group of very small lambs that aren't worth selling with the late lambers for the winter and it amazing how much they make in may, once I take there coats off they look smart and still weigh handy weights.
Around here the big well bred lambs (£75 - £80) don't seem all that dear when they are easy making £95 - £100 killed 4 weeks later. But the small badly bred lambs seem to be making £65 - £70 look very dear. Those badly bred Texel's out of mules never get much weigh IMO and seem just to be getting woollier.

The latest 400 arrived at 2am this morning. Looked well coming off the lorry and I've just been around them and they look champion.
I'll have them gathered up for doses and jabs next week. I'll try and remember tootake a few pictures so you can see for yourselves the sort of lamb I'm on.

He couldnt buy whats not for sale at any price and the more he tried the higher the beef price would go

Lanark (Kelso) blues a decent trade but shearlings not picked a lot harder to sell than Stirling last week. Good sorts well sought after.
