[Old Tip]

Kepak stand on £6.70 for OSL

 

[aangus]

Do they grade many as E’s though that’s the problem

With abp or dunbia its not so much the grade, but its the fat class that pisses me of. How can you keep a lamb lean when its still on its mother and grass

I got some I paid £10 for going this week, could be 7 times more than I paid for them.

Fair trade for hamsters.

My mate has some and he can’t understand why they don’t get to 50kg

 

[gone up the hill]

Sedgemoor today and without doubt the trade of the day in the sheep section were @Henarar and young @farmerclare well bred well finished low input high profit hill bred hoggs.

And this even with the current government/ net zero idiots hell bent on destroying the these small hill breeds and the farmers that farm them and which both are vital for the hills and eco systems both now and for future generations!

Interesting result. I’ve always kept a few as a bit of a hobby really but they’re so low maintenance, I’m tempted to cross them maybe with some llyns, try and get the weight up a bit. They’re an underrated breed in my view.
Black Lambs Matter. I’ve seen it on the news. I think.

There was another pen of black lambs there, i will let @Henarar post what they made as i know him and @Northeastfarmer like to have a good chin wag about what a cracking breed of sheep they are

 

[gone up the hill]

Yet again another massive entry of cull ewes at nearly 1800 head penned today at Sedgemoor.

But 90% of them were not really cull ewes but big well fleshed ewes that still had plenty of life left in them..

Very very rare to see so many sheep of such high quality/ young ages in the cull pens like today!

Clare had some Black Welsh mountain cross ewes and they were great mothers

Ewes not rearing lambs might as well go as cull now rather than risk them being the same next year, Iv got 14 one/two crop ewes going this week for my self and 20 for work (most would be young) that are heading that way for that reason. These good ewes that are worth £120+ might as well be replaced with a £80 ewe lamb out of the flock.
