Also some of my own sheep are earning me a far bit an hour (just worked it out). I have 150 welsh ewes that I pay myself £30 head to look after so £4500/year. In the last 12 months I spent 5 hours handing, 10 hours electric fencing, 52 hours looking (probably on the high side) and 20 extra hours lambing. 87 hours was spent on them so £51.72/hour, I did have to run the quad but still bloody good money for some rough old Welshy ewes.
Ugly stock is where rhe margin is 💪👌
