[QUOTE="Anymulewilldo, post: 7884443, member: 144597"] That wouldn’t help anything. Ram prices need too halve for a couple of years too stop people keeping all these 💩 tup lambs and flooding the markets with 4th grade tups that should have been killed on March as lambs. Unfortunately the ram job is cursed by small holders who make a packet outside farming. Buy a little place in the country, read the FG and decide the real money is in breeding tups. (It must be, farmers are all paying 2-5 thousand for stock tups in there.) they buy show type sheep, stuff them with corn, buy a tup (2 types here, UU the overfed donkey that’s no use commercially or buy one for £300 and expect too breed good stock tups with it) stuff that with corn. Produce lambs, (again 2 types, either corn from a day old or never give them anything so they end up with badly bred, badly fed animals) then take them too all the local breeding sales “oh it’s by Sportsmans Echo or similar” the fact that any self respecting farmer shouldn’t dream of buying the bloody things and they should be put straight in the slaughter pen at the sale just doesn’t compute until they get in the ring and can’t get a bid above £150. Sorry! But the tup job really winds me up at times! 😂 too many people pissig about instead of just relying on the commercial producers! [/QUOTE]
