Sheep farmers, or sheep?I think the biggest challenge in the UK would be having large enough numbers under control to cull them properly.
I certainly don't struggle to come up with culls, with under 30 ewes, even some of the hoggets are on their first strike.
It's more my job to get rid of anything below the average than to feed it, isn't that simply management plans in action?
Would you give your breeding stock some "eXtra" to get them to flush to produce a lamb that they otherwise wouldn't conceive/rear to weaning?
Seems plenty will.... the same ones who reckon a lamb should be worth much much more.
Then you have the starving millions in the world who don't have a digital rostrum to weep from.... there are not as many million sheep farmers on the globe as there are, malnourished and starved people
