[QUOTE="Tim W, post: 6505905, member: 72"] 1) R grade spec quoted is for a maternal type lamb ---crossed with a terminal obviously improves that (we hope) 2) ''Shedding sheep '' is as wide a definition as ''woolly sheep'' ----plenty of variation within both camps People breed maternal sheep pure and put up with a poorer grade carcass because they make up the (slightly ) reduced fat lamb price with the ability to breed their own replacements and the reduced input costs Not for everyone but it works well for many and i would hazard a guess that if we see a drop in lamb value after October that the margin for lower input systems will be better than for higher input systems (of course if both systems have a negative margin then it wont matter anyway!)
