Moved this bunch of 91 off grass onto green crop today. Took a picture and sent to an auctioneer I use. He offered me more than double what I paid for them in late September!

Good order, I’d have said 32-35kg lambs. Mostly Cheviots with a bit of variety. Fingers crossed for late February/early March!

You mean they are that weight now? What do you hope to get them too finished?

Cheviots want too be 38kg upwards really I reckon. Get a real nice finish on them at that weight. I don’t buy good enough lambs too get them much above 42kgs.

Someone far more tech savvy than me may be able to post it on this thread but the store cattle auctioneers comments ref the new transport laws being proposed for livestock and how that would have meant that there would have been no market at Sedge on Sat ( due to the temps being so low that morning ) alongside a link to the consultation document are worthwhile reading.

Saw some 54kilo Cheviot x sold today circa £124 .
I bet they were bought cheap enough to leave a pretty penny.

I know you would know if you kept them on grass till April they would be 45 kg plus...rocket fuel spring grass...i keep mine all winter when that grass arrives they just do like stink

Anyone thinking sheep are dear can have a look at my feed bill if they want to. Artic load of beet up nearly £250 on the year. We are doing this to make a profit ! We are allowed to make a profit!

I’ve got a fair lot of blackies that will be here April/May, the Cheviots have too go February onwards at lightweights too keep feed in front of everything else!

The ones I buy might take till May/June too hit 45kg... not saying I scrape the barrel but they averaged less than £50...

I can’t look at our food bills at the minute it would frighten me to death, just starting lambing so been feeding 1200 ewes for that job, they need to be dear to pay for the work that goes into them!! Jo-public would not do what we have to to earn there money, they’d want a thousand pound a lamb!

Went back in house grabbed a shower at half ten Saturday night, brother rang, 30 incalf heifers just got out vanished over 300 acres of neighbours maize stubble, got them back, fecked about with fence!! Went back in shed, treble on, bit smelly, three dead lambs, delightful, went to bed 2o’clock!! Normal day fine, but what normal person would enjoy doing that for the returns we get?? They’d say you were off your tits if they new the half of it
