[QUOTE="Kiwi Pete, post: 5971162, member: 63856"] Quite, if we decide that we need livestock, especially during times of adverse conditions, then some things have to give. Sometimes the stock have to give, that often isn't considered for various reasons, however as you mention with the migratory patterns: that would be their response, to leave our landscape for a gentler one. It was one of the things we discussed regarding lamb finishing, especially with different seasonality we seem to experience over the past couple of decades - sometimes it is more beneficial to the lambs, ewes, the soil, and the farmer to simply get them away store to "greener pastures"... where it gets harder often is on the multigenerational farms where "Dad" insists that the lambs born on the farm, are finished.... :whistle: at any cost, and sometimes those extra kg are very costly. What do several extra worm drenches actually cost us? So what is this factor, is it habit, is it sentiment, a bit of pride.. hope? Again, what you'd call it is unimportant, it just needs to be considered, as per my "wants/needs" comment and my "reasons/excuses" lure. :) [/QUOTE]
