6 of one, half a dozen of the other. Depends on your system and grazing availability. If I had too give £1+ for grass keep I’d creep the lambs and forget about wintering away

Watched a few ewes through the mart this morning plenty of ewes going through that would run again looks like the sheep job will be helped by this to me
Out of my 32 ewes I sent, 28 would be ok to tup again some where yearlings that hadn’t reared lambs for what ever reason. The rest where full mouth 4/5 crop ewes.
I was thinking it’s dear enough at that! Store cattle around here are not much more than they were last year.

Have you morphed into Guth?
Cull cow prices must be circa £300 a head
up from this time last year.
Store cattle prices dont look too bad either.(Well sold by the way).

Yes, I’m struggling to maintain ewe numbers in my pedigree flock.
Those stronger, good meated ewes have been good for a while, so every year I cash in anything that even looks at me the wrong way in the race, thinking I’ll not need to be quite so hard the next year.
of the ones I sold after weaning last Monday, probably 3/4 would have gone on again.
it dosnt to me, not for the inputs!

Yes stores are ok but if you don’t put some effort into feeding them you sharp end up £400 adrift up here. The store buyers are wanting us to do a bigger part of their job for them than ever. Those smaller younger cattle are discounted unless they are the best types. It’s surprising that size frame and condition is as important as sort the feed prices are reflecting thisHave you morphed into Guth?

Yes it has but maybe more than ever this year. Culls are dearer and folks are looking to reduce numbers in some ways plus the need for cash. I think it’s more severe than ever the culling bar is lowering

What would you use instead?
i was speaking with my growers head on, we sell far more than we feed.
