[QUOTE="Nithsdale, post: 3985038, member: 17508"] So... I have had my first draw of Suffolk lambs away this week. My man said at the Highland I was booked in for a Wed morning kill (this was on Friday afternoon, and nobody had been through the lambs :banghead:). 24 lambs drawn ranging from 37-42kg (with 1 weighing 44kg) KO avg 18.2 @ 465p/kg. An awful lot of lambs kicking on around the 35-36kg. All handling nice. I contemplated letting them all go, too - then doubted my weigh crate and chickened out :oops: The new ground these have been on has slowed the job down a bit, I'm sure of it... due to it being old grass and weeds. I had wanted/expected 30-35 lambs to be ready. They are back at home, for now, on better grass and I expect another draw in a week-10days. [/QUOTE]
