[QUOTE="Kiwi Pete, post: 6666194, member: 63856"] Yes, it's comparable to £1 per week in winter, and about 90p now. It's a win-win if done well, we've put 7 sheep in the hole in 3 years and 2 were ours, the thing is we do an excellent job and they are an excellent tool; not only in terms of chipping away at the mortgage but also for extra animal impact, as most of our pasture productivity relies on "THE MOB" and not inputs A few points, you spend the same amount of time electric fencing with one wire or 3, so we aim to get them accustomed to one ASAP and then 3x the moves are possible; have to get that migration happening or they're "just something to eat the grass" IYSWIM? And, relationships, as mentioned above.. once you can eliminate that pesky commissioned stock agent and work on trust/honesty/communication, it gets better and better. We've got all the hoggets we need from 2 great people, both of them know how we roll "[I]they[/I] don't need drenched, [I]you[/I] need to drench them" so it works great. We get the benefit of sheep without the cost[ATTACH type="full"]846973[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
