[QUOTE="exmoor dave, post: 7848509, member: 623"] Are you increasing numbers [USER=3403]@Woolless[/USER] ? Just ask because, I'm in complete agreement with you on keeping the older girls abit longer to get extra ewe lambs, even at the expense of cull values. We're expanding the flock, to replace a flock that was on ground we've taken on, like you say there are limited buying options of shedders, plus having been a near closed flock for so long now, I'm extremely reluctant to buy any females in, from a disease point of view, also a big believer in stock bred on the farm, particularly a upland environment is always better for the flock. So ewes have been going on a year extra, even with the extra mortality, I think it's worth it to get those extra replacements from them. [/QUOTE]
