[QUOTE="Anymulewilldo, post: 7380748, member: 144597"] Do this, get very very disheartened. Lose money because the old farmers who can’t lamb sheep anymore will give fat value/life at 1 month post lambing then keep them all summer! I’ve found it by far the most profitable way too sell my old ewes! 😉😁 Like everyone else says, find someone local and reliable. Let it too them, and WATCH CAREFULLY. After 2/3 years you might feel it’s worth buying 500 lambs of your own and having a go. Or you might feel it best to concentrate on your arable and let us sheep shaggers deal with the little woolly buggers. One major piece of advice I’d say too anyone considering store lambs. Don’t be afraid too walk away at the mart. It’s alright being billy big rubbish showing us yokels how too buy, but you’ve got too sell the buggers at the end. And personally I’ve never made money worth thinking about from short term lambs. Buy in the glut (timings change every year with grass season and fat price) go for a healthy medium lamb (20kg is a v.small) you want 27-29kg. And be prepared to farm them until February at the earliest. 👍 Good luck, if you were closer too me I’d be in your yard in the morning to sort out an arrangement. 😁 [/QUOTE]
