Avg £106.50, 38.5kg. All straight off Dairy grass. That will do nicely 👌

Goes towards making up for the 2 tote bags of dead ones we had after last weeks pasturella outbreak. 😒😔 that was painful when the knackerman came on Monday morning.
Were the pasturella dead ones from one group,or right across all you have? What % if you dont mind me asking? I had a big 60kg texel tup lamb dead on monday,trying to get a group of 30 fat.Think i will just put them in the store.

It’s not me @livestock 1 encourages me, I can’t help it!😂
You’d be happy with the lambs though, they’ve motored on for you? Don’t you vaccinate them when they land with you?
All double jabbed by now. Vet said with daytime temperatures 15-16 degrees and nighttime near freezing, vaccine is pretty useless. The temp change puts too much stress on the sheep. And most of that group were homebred texel crosses!

1 group. It was the ones I’ve had inside sorting lame feet etc. Then they passed it into the pen of tup lambs next too them. An expensive weekend, but thankfully a PM on Sunday morning identified it and we had jabbed everything with 5ml Alamycin by lunch and haven’t had any more deaths since.
Years since we’ve had a pasturella outbreak like that!
