[QUOTE="gone up the hill, post: 4373754, member: 1048"] In theory yes but you need to allow for all costs to come off the sale price, ewes with lambs at foot are currently making £55/60 life down here, at that price nearly all the costs/ extra work will have to come off any that have twins which wont leave much more profit ( if any ) than selling in lamb. Local sale of early in lamb ewes the other day and they were all around the £130/140 mark apparently. Also if grass is short in the spring then ewes and lambs will take a knock trade wise. [/QUOTE]
