Have you many more left to go.. Some times it might be better to creep lambs at 3 weeks to a month old , even only for a couple of weeks and get them away quicker, I might try this next year.Sold 34 store types today. Weren't weighed in Mart but on bridge all between 36kgs and 40kgs. £70
At least you have 70 to sell, money in the bank.Have roughly 70 left I think now. Someone's suggested i bring some in to the Mesh house and feed inside
70 for stores is ok, I'd be happy enough with that!
Any idea how anyone is making money buying, transporting and keeping these for a few more weeks?
I saw stores a few weeks ago that were big boned Suffolk x's but had no meat on them so needed 3-5 weeks on turnips/rape to fill with meat, they were £72/head and yet it was £76 for a fat lamb that week (19.5-20kg) - now it'd be £72?
Great grassHave to say that I'm pleased with how the bulk of my replacement ewe lambs have done even if the fat lambs aren't as good

Lambs are looking well, we'll only be keeping the closest to weigh to finish and sending the rest as stores. Apart from all the tups we left entire [emoji29][emoji29][emoji31]Have to say that I'm pleased with how the bulk of my replacement ewe lambs have done even if the fat lambs aren't as good
