[QUOTE="@dlm, post: 7171727, member: 120162"] Buy a dear lamb i admit, last year pre luck 110, this year 116. Invest in reseeds but with wet winters actually fed ewe lambs nothing!!! Bought 40 20k energy lick tubs and used 8 over 616 ewe lambs. Twins i sold at good money at 8 weeks old but normally i feed no extra but wean at 8 weeks. So no cost normally gains 105 lamb sales and ewe increase of 15. Singles last year gained me 35/40 on ewe and av 60 on lambs. With those twins av selling a fraction over a lamb per hogg. 105%. Generally over dads lifetime and mine over doing same system, the figures vary minutely, whatever costs, feed, purchase /sales etc, the difference in purchase of ewe lambs and selling off shearlings and purchase of following ewe lambs always means the same. The previos nett difference covers costs and losses, sales of lambs the profit. Over 50 years this has varied very little looking back at dads costs. [/QUOTE]
