[QUOTE="unlacedgecko, post: 8027475, member: 19130"] [URL unfurl="true"]https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly9mZWVkcy5idXp6c3Byb3V0LmNvbS8xMDg3MjY1LnJzcw/episode/QnV6enNwcm91dC0xMDE0MDAwMg?ep=14[/URL] Listened to this Head Shepherd podcast recently. A study followed an NZ cohort of 13,000 ewe lambs from weaning through their productive life. Key points Only 10% survived to cull as 6yr old 50% were culled before this point 40% died on farm Does anyone have similar figures for UK yet? I know this is what Challenge Sheep is looking into, but I haven't seen any results yet. How does this vibe with posters own records? What are the implications? Does this counteract the philosophy that a big expensive replacement has her cost offset by increased cull value? [/QUOTE]
