[QUOTE="Sheep135, post: 3231854, member: 45602"] Didn't want to hijack the other thread so thought I'd start another. This is a very rough plan and idea but wanted opinions on whether it may work. The main income on the farm is fattening store cattle, but through the autumn and winter the plan would be to fatten store lambs intensively, I can buy lamb creep for 170 a tonne and the plan would be to turn medium-long term lambs around in 30-60 days. The idea of having lambs grazing for 6 months of the year cattle grazing for 6 months of the year would help to reduce a worm burden? I tried this year with 1200 lambs which worked well with the best performing lambs but the tail enders and diers reduced the margins a fair bit. The plan would be to in time fatten 10,000 - 15,000 lambs. Just thinking aloud so please state any obvious flaws! [/QUOTE]
