Exactly...the fruiet falls faster the harder the shakeI think I’ve heard that referred to as a tree shake as well. Give everyone a little rattle.

I think you aren't far off with your opinion. I know of a lot of lambs around . Friend of ours only sells his store lambs when his beet is close to running out but with the wet and mild weather the beet has continued bulking up and they are taking a lot more grazing than usual . We have about 600 to go but haven't started drawing yet due to poor personal health but I'm not panicking .My opinion is that lambs wont go much higher, I think there are a lot of people sat on lambs now what are willing to wait for them to get to £7 and I don't think it will come. I have 2 neighbors that are both sat on 2000 lambs waiting for it to go silly and my scanner last week hadn't started selling his 1500 lamb yet. Plus all the second quality Texel and Suffolk ewe lambs that can be killed in may and June. There are plenty of sheep out there the buyers are tempting everyone with a good price to keep them coming in.
But that is only my opinion of the job.
I agree, had a trip round Cumbria and Yorkshire this last week and there’s a lot of lambs on beet and turnips looking very muddy and the crop is still growing. These lambs will want a dry fortnight at least to be fit to sell and with crop still growing there’s no rush.I think you aren't far off with your opinion. I know of a lot of lambs around .

We have been methodically taking heavy lambs off each bunch as withdrawls finish. have abandoned roots and left then ungrazed as they had not done in the conditions compared to grass bunches. those lambs have now dried up and ment. Have a lot left 1500 or so but will be pulling weekly as got plenty of lambing to do in a months time. head down here this morning roof of barn just lifted off stay safe today.I agree, had a trip round Cumbria and Yorkshire this last week and there’s a lot of lambs on beet and turnips looking very muddy and the crop is still growing.

Hope you get to feeling better soon
no livestock but expecting more damage but keeping head downHope it didn’t do too much damage, was there anything in said barn @LAMBCHOPS
£4 and less is riskierAt the risk of being accused of talking the job down.....think £7 DW is risky for long term.

I've got 60 stores knocking about, reasonable size at home. Do I send them to my other block of grazing 20 miles away on clean grass and grow or sell as stores now. Help, what do I do. They are not taking grass away from pregnant ewes....
Needing some for morning but said price would still be there at weekendI thought they had gone to 5.10 for today?
