[QUOTE="neilo, post: 824464, member: 348"] The £6k mentioned was per 100 ewes, which wouldn't even take 3 months up in total I would hope. However, I very much suspect that person was living in cloud cuckoo land, or at least wearing rose tinted specs when he arrived at that PROFIT figure.:rolleyes: Maybe, if he was stocking lowland ground at 1 ewe/ac and not having to buy any inputs at all, or replace any, or....... I'm in a 'Sheep Club' thingy with Menterabusiness in Wales, and we are in the process of compiling costs and comparing/benchmarking between us and against the Aberystwyth published figures. There is a large range of variables effecting the profit on each farm, but certainly none are making anywhere near £60/ewe in profit! The top third on the Aber figures are at £35.65 per ewe, before rent & finance, a figure which wouldn't be far wrong from what I've seen. Your farmer above will be earning £24k a year, plus his 'government handouts', all from a relatively small farm with a handful of stock? I'm obviously doing something very wrong.:(:scratchhead: [/QUOTE]
