[QUOTE="Wink, post: 3265578, member: 33412"] Thanks for all of these replies - very useful. Will look at it in more detail post Christmas and probably post back with more questions. Sounds like it could be an opportunity to maintain store lambs over winter and put feeders out with hay/silage if needs be and then finish off grass spring and summer. My main aim is to make the most of what is available to me, keep it really simple and to finish greater numbers. Have being toying and still am finding a system that will work for me over the last few years and doing lots of costings. I have found doing direct sales that a lot of people actually like the older hogget meat, myself included, as I see many people on here say they home kill hogget/mutton for the freezer out of preference. So storing the lambs and then taking them on to good heavy weights 22-30kg dead would give me more saleable meat through the shop and so if I can get the costings right it could pay. Thoughts most welcome.... [/QUOTE]
