Thats the one.
I will pass on your patchy stylish outcasts thanks but your lambs are looking well. You should be leaving balls on the some tup home bred tups always breed better than bought in jobs.
They look goodSuffolk lambs in, Multi vit & copper dosed.
Boluses the Suffolk tups with cobalt and selenium boluses. Thought I had an old tup of Copper needles but can't find them, or they'd have gotten them too.

They look good
Don't know if I dare say it..................prefer them to the Lleyns
I weighed a few too, whilst I was at it...
Heaviest was about 32kg (pic4) a lot of lambs running about 25-27kg.
The heaviest white lamb (single born at the start) was about 27kg (pic3)

Won't set the world alight in terms of daily weight gains. But for this farm that is pretty good and I am pleased. I will breed my own TexX ewes in future, so hopefully I can improve on growth rates.

When was that 32kg lamb born?@Nithsdale Farmer , I'm sure you've got every lamb in your 're records but if your little book isn't to hand just give me a rough estimate
