[QUOTE="hendrebc, post: 4157498, member: 70166"] Ive gone down to 35kg and maybe a bit less one year when i was short of ewes. I wouldnt go down that low again they lambed fine and did their lambs ok but they never really grew as much as i would have liked. I think the sum is 60% of mature weight at tupping but you need a bit of common sense with that. A bigger framed lamb that weighs a bit less but is just a bit scrawny is.better than a young looking fat thing that has no frame but just fat and heavier. I go for 40kg now which is a bit heavier than the 60% i need for a 60kg mature ewe. They do much better that way. [/QUOTE]
