Yeah I wouldn’t be worrying about them they will be fair things by may time, they will sell well in the stores anyway

They'll fly on that diet, you'll have them fit to kill by April!!

He needs to house them now and not at the end of Dec, all they will do in the next few weeks outdoors is stand still/ go backwards.

Fine leaving them out all winter if you are turning onto grass early and will get very high growth rates quickly come April but leaving them out for another month then housing them onto a good ration does not make any sense!

Housing full of dry cows, emptying quickly and grass needs chopping off.

You can only do what you can do in that situation.

If its possible i would feed them some hard feed now at grass untill you can house them, that will stop them going backwards over the next few weeks untill you can house them.

I've not sold any lambs since the end of October, any idea how stores are doing?

Not interested in the sale report/top prices... 32-35kg average looking lambs

Ran out of food? Seems odd to sell so close to the end

Plenty of store lambs about that are 38/40 kilos being sold both this and previous years.

Whole host of reasons why people sell them at those weights.

And at £107 for 39 kilos for most lambs the store lamb seller has had most of the profit unless a sheep gambler has bought them and will run them on grass alone to very heavy weights!

I can understand if people just sell everything 32kg+ every 4-6 weeks so some that were 32 could be 40kg 6 weeks after etc but I was merely asking.

Some friends of mine bought 400 stores privately last year for £55/head in July, they killed 80 of them that same week

Farms that store lambs have just ran about on will have scored this time they’ve gone up a bit lately

Ran out of grass on feilds that are sheepstock fenced and busy calving, so no point doing half a job, £107 for lambs that have only seen grass all their life in happy with.

Yea i know what you are saying, quite often most of the 38+ store lamb sellers are not FA so cant sell deadweight.

I thought everyone was FA

Think of a number you would be happy with and add £15-£30

They are worth more store than fat?

The whole FA scheme is a load of bollox.

Watch the Sedge xmas primestock sale on the GTH page to see that! Non FA prime cattle were making £2.80 + ppk ( i think it was ) yesterday!

Texels would be £85-£105 depending what they looked like.I had a few Suff x today at £100,and Tex at £96. I dont think trade is as strong at Longtown at the moment as they would have you believe.They could do with a few more farmer buyers.
