[QUOTE="neilo, post: 5025328, member: 348"] Don't look at me. My days of 200% lambing are long gone, much happier lambing outside and trying to sell 160-170% with minimal costs these days. I somehow doubt [USER=72]@Tim W[/USER] will be near 200% either. Plenty of flocks locally have been reducing numbers themselves in the last month, with huge losses of ewes that just haven't had the reserves to cope with the recent bouts of shite, after a prolonged winter full of the same. Here, I've lost a few more ewes than normal, had a few more problems generally, and probably skinned more lambs than I can ever remember doing, but I still won't be reducing numbers or heading back to lambing indoors. The only thing I'm doing differently this year, is not carrying any dry hoggs from the crossbred flock, given the recent trade. [/QUOTE]
