A butcher friend of mine reckons that we should be breeding bigger too. His reason is that he would like a loin big enough to bone out and roll, rather than sell chops. People aren't so keen on bone nowadays.
25kg hung up needs 50kg+ walking though. If your flock is dialled in to producing the 20kg carcase that we have done for God knows how long... some change needed in your ewes, or keeping lambs longer to reach those weights (add to that more feeding/grass/fert costs)...
