I'm lambing later next year and buying more sheep that lamb off silage alone and grass when it comes. Can't see the feed price dropping before the end of the year.

Luckily we have arable too so you can't have it all ways, but every part of the farm needs to justify itself.

That's pretty much the case up here anyway, I am going from Feb to March so still beat the glut hopefully. There will still be plenty folk who like the big prices and their name in the paper by lambing early and pretending their costs are minimal

Think weve got our wires crossed here somehow.

But a quality 9 month steer off the cow should be weighing 420kg+ and motoring. 6 months and he'll be hung up at 380kg DW U grade? I'd rather feed that than a dairy/beef bred these days!
