[QUOTE="farmerm, post: 6616903, member: 7195"] £200 on tups is certainly doable for 100 ewes. Tags adds at least another £150 though Insurance, deadstock disposal, footbath, sundries more sundries, they all add up! I do ours without a quad but the dog costs at least as much as your £200 figure! I think my vet/med bill is a tad more than £400.. our heptavac and terramycine foot spray bills alone would be close to that! £200 silage isn't anywhere close to what ours eat in terms of the value of small bale hay...! 100 ewes is a far bit of work for a meager return :cautious: but they graze the perm pasture so I can claim the ag dole money [/QUOTE]
