[QUOTE="sticky, post: 7250023, member: 41202"] You'll generally get between £30 & £50 above purchase price, this year I don't think I'll get much more than £20 but I thought that when I was buying them. I have one or two farms I've been buying off for 4-6 years and wasn't prepared to drop them because of one year, it's the same as the store lamb job. From what I've seen those white faced Welsh mules are not that easily sold as theaves compared to other breeds. Have you considered store lambs, buy them in worm them hopefully watch them grow and move them on, don't even have to be fat if the store price has risen. This won't help you during peak growth in the summer though. You could do the winter keep job for six months and then sell the standing grass for a cash crop in the spring. [/QUOTE]
