[QUOTE="JoeHodgey, post: 7379145, member: 151227"] Hi, I've been doing some figures on growing and finishing weaned lambs. For context i'm an arable farmer thinking about how I can bring livestock back to the farm so please forgive any blundering errors:ROFLMAO: . The figures i have done cant be right, can anyone tell me where i've gone wrong? The idea is putting down herbal leys. Buying in weaned lambs 20kg ish to grow and finish over summer and autumn. Assuming an average Dry matter yield of 8000kg/Ha . Average DLWG of 250g and average DM consumption of 1.25KG gives a feed/Live weight conversion of about 1:5 right? So.... 8000kg / 5 = average live weight meat yield of 1600 kg/ha? 1600kg x £1.60 (Live weight kg price)= £2560 I know there are many variables but I think these numbers are realistic? My question is how can growing and finishing store lambs generate £2500 gross output per ha?? Where have I gone wrong? Thanks!! [/QUOTE]
