It’s not only the abortion or foot trouble risks joining the farm but there’s also the risk of scab once they’ve gone to a mart, scab is certainly a big concern for most I know.in lamb ewes always seem cheap to me....i suppose it's the risk
Any idea what twins due March would be worth? Might buy some

I see what you did there. Start by talking the price down, then mention you might be after some, just in case anyone might have some to sell...

Fancy any Beltex ewes @Al R ?Any idea what twins due March would be worth? Might buy some
I might know where there are a few. If you're interested I may be able to broker a deal for you
(commission rate very reasonable )@neilo still got those Belties?

They have been making £150/170/80 head easily the last few weeks, seems crazy money when you have all the work/risks.
But on Sat i saw a pen of 6t/FM mules ( good ewes due in March and scanned at about 170% ) make about £122, then i saw same age/size mule ewes with one lamb each ( lambs young but good ) make £125 outfit! and doubles at £140 ish, now work that out ?!

Certainly not being greedy on them. Someone already has their name on them anyway though, so you've probably missed the boat.
They would have been ideal for you too. They are really placid sheep (compared to the Charollais anyway), so you wouldn't have so much trouble keeping them in.
