[QUOTE="Nithsdale, post: 3980604, member: 17508"] I tend to keep away from lambs because in the past if I have taken a chance on one, the change in 'lifestyle' has resulted in just a plain awful beast. The Suffolk lamb I bought last autumn is fairing well, though. Most are over fed and over pushed for sales, because nobody wants tiny tup lambs... My view, depending very much on the breeder and their personal ethos - the shearlings may be the poorer lambs which are kept back, but they've been treated better and left to develope on their own, which means when you buy them they won't (shouldn't) be dead in a years time and will do off grass much better without severe condition loss when working.
