[QUOTE="Kingcustard, post: 8010817, member: 90692"] Early lambing not totally a financial decision, it helps me manage the ewes better if I do 100+ early and I can protect the lambs better against bad weather, If I fill the shed in March or April they have to go out whatever the weather, and it can be harsh up here. Also a good chance to get rid of cull ewes before they need clipped and when the price is traditionally high. The problem with the mules is there are a lot of people breeding them on farms that aren't as hard as mine so I think they are getting soft. I am open to everything for replacements so may try some Hardy mules, some texel crosses and maybe some Durnos or similar. [/QUOTE]
