[QUOTE="neilo, post: 2378036, member: 348"] All are included in the average in the mart, from death's door ones to wobbly fat ones. Anything from a fiver to £130+. You'd have to go and handle them yourselves, trying to pick some that wouldn't die on you, that were healthy enough to put condition on from grazing, and then hope the other buyers didn't stitch you up. Now is about the dearest time of year for culls, so you'd be buying at the top of the market and selling after it had dropped. Live or dead? Most of the dedicated dw lamb sellers I know, still take their culls to the live mart, if that helps.;) As to when the ground would be clear if those culls brought anything in (and there will be more than a few aborted ewes in the marts at the moment), probably never IMO. Whether you think any potential profit is worth it, or are willing to take the risk, is down to you. Personally, I'd let someone take an early silage cut, or top it. [/QUOTE]
