[QUOTE="Jim75, post: 5451888, member: 343"] After buying quite a few ewes to build up numbers the last couple years, gimmers work best for us. Bought in Ewes have been nothing but a pain compared to gimmers who have lambed really well. This year half our flock were gimmers and everyone said we were crazy but again they lambed really well with only a handful down the road. It’ll be a problem in 4-5 yrs unless we keep building up or cull out slowly. The money you’re mentioning is around the same as we’ve been paying with hopefully 5-6 years out of them and known status. Horses for course as you say though. Dingwall breeding sheep were what can only be described as selective this week. Any guesses for lamb the next few weeks, bottomed out yet? [/QUOTE]
