New season lamb

[LAMBCHOPS]

What's the trend this year. Will new season numbers be coming forward earlier than normal? Have lambs been born early this time like b4.Have flocks opted for later lambing. Topic of conversation in market today

I’ve lambed the same so first lambs should be away beginning June . One neighbour has reduced sheep but brought forward lambing and other neighbour has went later for lambing so who knows

RPF say they will be taking hoggs all through May (as usual) so they probably don't anticipate too much deviation from the normal numbers?

Market full of them today and big weights too.

With good weather are hoppers been used so much for young lambs with price of feed was another question.Also been aired are hoggets receiving hard feed as buyers reporting leaner lambs in abattoir last couple of weeks.
