[QUOTE="andybk, post: 7789411, member: 347"] buy from the fat / cull ring you ask for all you get lol , had a new customer lately who said all 3 of his texels he bought last year are throwing pig mouths and wont finish , these are destined for the cull pens , im in absolutely no doubt they will be bought for breeding as they are very good shaped rams , by someone who likes a bargain. , you need to buy from the right place , someone who has done their job right means you will get 5+ years of good lambs and a high % that fall in the right spec and grow quick , this doesnt mean highly fed wobblers at mart , when you see the next pen of good fat lambs ask where they source their rams will tell you a lot A good ram say costing £500 , at say easy 50 ewes a year , will sire 375 lambs over 5 years @ 150% , works out at £1.30 a lamb , not much really for a fat lamb worth around £100 conservatively, click costs as much these days , and he will still be worth £100 as a cull , Thats why its important to find the right breeder because if that ram lasts 1 year and dies because the liver or kidneys are fkd from over feeding , your looking at £6.66 a lamb .
