[QUOTE="neilo, post: 7929487, member: 348"] I’ve never seen weaned lambs motor like they do on those grass & clover mixes. Regrowing brassicas in those mixes makes them even better ime, but means you can’t take bales off as well. Not much good in the winter though, unless as deferred grazing to hold them I suppose? If you have sheds available, there’s a lot to be said for pushing as many as you can on those crops, then housing the rest on hoppers. Yes it costs, but they put a lot of weight on, kill out much better, and fodder crops aren’t grown for nothing. Any of my remaining smaller lambs that get put on turnips get forgotten until April. Way to muddy to ‘finish’ lambs, or market them, over Dec-March on roots here. May be different in drier areas and lighter soils of course. [/QUOTE]
